Critic Reviews
-
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
An entertaining, adeptly crafted documentary that treats its provocative subject matter with refreshing respect.
-
Andrew Barker, Variety
In contrast with Grecco's evocative photos, his film is scattered and platitudinous, skimming the surface of his subjects and betraying his high-art aspirations with a shallow E! aesthetic.
-
Sean Axmaker, Seanax.com
It's less a documentary than a promotional video for [director Michael Grecco's] book...
-
Brian Orndorf, DVDTalk.com
There's plenty of nudity, famous porn faces (don't worry, Ron Jeremy shows up), and a few respectable stories, but an overall arc of an idea with all this siliconed commotion? It never arrives.
-
Bill Gibron, Filmcritic.com
As a look inside the porn industry itself, it barely scratches the surface.
