The diverse and beautifully crafted settings create a rich and immersive viewing experience.

The story circles around two women (an intersex mother and a daughter). It gives you entertainment, laugh and importantly a message and information we never came across regarding intersex bodies and their issues in an awesome way. A movie that can be watched among all group ages of family member. I watched the film in BFI Southbank cinema London. This movie delivers a brilliant informative message for society regarding the due respect and honour for intersex bodies. We all must exercise it and let them enjoy the life as God has bestowed upon them with their own built up and emotions.

Throughly enjoyed watching the movie. It's very well researched and it helped me learn some of the details about intersex people which I was unaware of before watching the movie. Inclusive movies like this should me made more because it could be educational cause the mainstream media creates unrealistic standards that we live every day to live up to. Inclusive movies like Only love matters can be movies we could make our parents watch to educate them about the LGBT+ community. It taught me that we are born with certain sex which is different from the binary gender and just to remind you, it is's the gender we choose normally these days. Mind opening movie! Well done!

This film represents a completely different aspects of our lives which we perhaps have been ignoring so long, brining up a sensitive and touch me not subject of intersex and the way they and their related people are treated in our society with sober and fun elements mixed was astounding. I really appreciate this must watch movie and applaud the effort of entire team specially the director and producer for portraying thé sensitive subject in delicate manner. I am expecting this movie brings the awareness amongst people to show respect towards those who have not been born with bodies natural like us.
'Only Love Matters' is a pioneering, entertaining and powerful piece of cinema. Featuring two lead intersex characters, it's a trailblazing tale of love against the odds where tolerance and empathy are not always in evidence for those who don't fit the conventional societal definitions of what constitutes 'normal'. The central performances are strong, the cinematography impressive (particularly the scenes filmed in India) and the film defiantly wears it heart on its sleeve, so be prepared for a very emotional watch. Coming in at just over 90 minutes, it's a concise piece and may have benefited from an extra fifteen minutes to allow the 'parallel stories' plotline and character arcs to develop more fully. That said, 'Only Love Matters' is an immersive, inspirational and sincerely emotive film which will leave you both intellectually stimulated and emotionally drained. In an age of one-dimensional blockbusters it's important that films like this are being made; even if only to remind us all that - at the end of the day - maybe it is only love that truly matters.
