Underwhelming and Myopic
4 July 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This documentary could have been so much better. They made a choice early in process to be very myopic in scope. Maybe it is due to the secretive nature of the business. But I would preferred more statistics, and company names. The movie did take a heart felt look at the porn actresses lives which was somewhat interesting but nothing surprising. Somewhat confusing however because the girls had screen names and real names and couple of them look similar to each other. Also the seemed to focus on the girls having trouble rather than the more balanced girls. Spoiler, the more balanced girls seemed to have better outcomes regardless of whether they continued to do porn or left the industry. Overall for a documentary it took a more emotional tone that to me weakens a documentary that should emphasized the power of media and porn industry. Also while they hinted at how porn has influenced mainstream media they didn't really show how the trend got started. i would have appreciated more statistics about the women leaving the industry, like rate of STDs, Domestic Violence, Unemployment, Drug Abuse and etc. It is highly disturbing that 'teen' is the most popular porn search term.
