COME AS YOU ARE

Cert 15 Stars 3

Based on the story of Asta Philpot, who was featured in a 2007 BBC documentary, this frank and funny real life road trip comedy-drama sees sex and disability go hand in hand as a squabbling trio of young men with disabilities attempt to lose their virginity by travelling to a Canadian brothel called the Chateau Paradise, whose motto gives the film its name.

An act of rebellion against their restrictive home life, their quest for sexual gratification becomes a bid for personal freedom, and although it takes an increasingly sentimental turn, stars Hayden Szeto, Ravi Patel and Grant Rosenmeyer are always entertaining.
