Only Love Matters

Only Love Matters, was truly inspiring, following the story of an intersex individual has never really been seen before, but highlights an incredibly overlooked scenario, building awareness on the matter. The narrative is very well structured and shows several stages of the protagonist's life, bad and good. Accompanied by beautiful cinematography and original songs, this film is truly a good watch.

The film does extremely well at character development, from the early stages of childhood, all the way until late adulthood, marriage, and adoption. By the end, you feel a genuine connection with the subjects, which is very heart-warming.

I do very much recommend this film to anyone, this film follows a story and issue which is rarely discussed but equally shows importance of how awareness can change our perceptions.

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.

I got to view Only Love Matters at it's premier in Southampton, part of Southampton Film Week. This film has taught me so much about intersex as I was not aware of this term before. The film has amazing cinematography. It's also very emotional pice to view and has characters people will be able to relate to. The pace of the film is really good , it keeps the story line moving forwards but at a pace which really gives the emotion, this is credit to the director and editor.

This film is going to inspire others to research and learn more about intersex and is going to help raise awareness.

Really am excited to see the film again.

'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.

This film is a powerful exploration of identity and self-expression. This emotionally charged film challenges societal norms while celebrating the beauty of individuality.

It combined with stunning visuals and compelling performances, creates an immersive experience that resonates long after viewing. The narrative skillfully weaves personal struggles with broader social commentary, highlighting the importance of inclusive environments in nurturing self-acceptance.

Without relying on specific plot details, the film delivers a universal message about the significance of embracing one's true self. It serves as both a mirror for self-reflection and a window into diverse experiences, fostering empathy and understanding.

"Only Love Matters" is more than just entertainment; it's a call to action for a more accepting world. In these divisive times, this film stands as a poignant reminder of our shared humanity and the transformative power of love and acceptance.
