(A)sexual

I decided to watch this documentary titled (A)sexual because, well, I'm labeled as an asexual. I wanted to see what others had to say on the topic, and how they could make a whole movie on it, because frankly, the subject is kind of boring. You're making a movie about people who don't want to have sex... 

I thought that the filmmakers managed to do a pretty good job at keeping the film entertaining, despite the dull subject. I enjoyed how they interviewed people on all sides of the debate. I really enjoyed that one part where they were talking about the irony of asexuals at the pride parade. That made me giggle, cause it was true. Also, I didn't know that the symbol of asexualism was cake. I'm cool with that.  :)

Towards the end it started getting kind of repetitive. I suppose that was to be expected when you're talking about a subject that doesn't really have a lot to talk about. I can sum up the movie to you in one sentence: (A)sexual is about how people do not want to have sex are discriminated against for no good reason and how they have all banded together in this group called AVEN to inform others of asexuality. If it's that easy to summarize a documentary, how good is it really?
