Review of Zerophilia

Zerophilia (2005)
Innovative, positive and entertaining
24 March 2007
This film is an affirmative coming of age film for a teenage man with a condition that makes him change sex when he has sex.

The plot is very original and innovative. I have never thought about anything remotely like that before! On the surface, it is a film about an imaginary genetic condition called zerophilia. It explores self discovery and self acceptance. Luke finds out that he in fact like guys, tries to change this but fails. Then he accepted himself as who he is, and starts a relationship with Max. This very much mirrors the sexual discovery of adolescents.

This film brings a positive message about self acceptance, as highlighted in the symbolic scene of Luke given a light blue top for ladies. It's OK whoever you choose to be.

The positive message is portrayed in an entertaining way. I hope this message can reach a wider audience!
