"Technically, this film is a romcom in that it is funny and romantic. But it's not a romcom in the sense of adhering to the formulaic character types."
"The film's best line 'I just don't think I'm gay enough to be gay' brings humour to a well-handled exploration of Liv's feelings on her sexual identity."
The Venus Effect is a unique Danish independent film that blends humor and romance without relying on traditional romcom formulas. It follows Liv, who begins to explore her attraction to Andrea, and delves into LGBTQ+ themes in a refreshing manner. The film highlights Liv's struggles with her identity in the context of queer culture, portraying her as already of age, yet still on a journey of self-discovery. Through moments of humor and sincere dialogue, the film addresses both the joy and pain of coming out and navigating modern family dynamics.
