Come as You Are

A missed opportunity...but the film itself is funny, and doing something not generally done in mainstream cinema...an interesting film with a central issue within its casting...but it is funny and it is frank...

All in all, about 200 per cent better than it reads on paper (though the title is still unforgivable).

Come As You Are thinks it's radically inclusive. Come again?

The film loses points for its decision to cast able actors in the central roles, but explores its theme of sexuality and disability with admirable candour.

All the performances confidently handle the material's sometimes breakneck tonal shifts...

Even if it hits well-worn beats, Come As You Are still shines a light on the oft-ignored sexual wants and needs of the disabled community, with humour, empathy and poignancy.

Based on the 2011 Belgian film, 'Hasta La Vista,' this movie about three young handicapped men on a clandestine road trip looking for love is funny, heartwarming and emotive.

Though not perfect, this warm-hearted tale of friendship and shared humanity is a fun ride worth taking.

It's not only refreshing to see disabled characters front and centre but to have a story that everyone can understand that everyone just wants to be treated like everyone else, no barriers.

The story also has mawkish tendencies. There is, however, a disarming amount of warmth in the dialogue and performances.
