A really great documentary about one of the most famous porn movies in history. Not so much about the movie itself so much as world it came from and ultimately brought with it. Very well done with some classy Dennis Hopper narration. Lots of great interviews and archival footage...( read more)

For a documentary about the movie that kicked off the modern porn trade there's not enough porn and too many annoying Americans!

A great documentary about the film and the effect it had on the cast and crew after it becomes a cultural touchstone. It's hard to believe that porn was so main stream that major celebrities were seeing this and that the films were playing in more upscale theaters.

Critic Reviews
Deep Throat bore an X certificate. Inside Deep Throat is an NC-17. Neither is suitable for grownups. full review
Offers a diverting tale of erstwhile indie filmmaking and the power of porn to generate change -- both at the box office and in the bedroom. full review
A history lesson that challenges many preconceptions. full review
The movie uses new and old interviews and newsreel footage to remember a time when porn was brand-new. full review
Balanced enough to serve as a cautionary tale that cuts in several directions at once. full review
Eager to tell one story, Inside Deep Throat neglects the more compelling story within it. full review
The filmmakers' attempts to link Deep Throat's lasting impact to every sexually charged facet of contemporary American life reaches too far. full review
Besides fresh and funny insights from the likes of Norman Mailer and John Waters, it shows how little censorship politics have changed from Nixon to Bush. full review
