  • I was surprised that this actually was a decent film. Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but seems rather authentic if we can believe anything we learned in the documentary “hot girls wanted.”

  • Looks like the typical bullshit to me.

    Privileged white girl wants to do porn. She does porn and engages in increasingly humiliating acts while shunning those closest to her. Culminating in her doing a scene with a black man which is going to be portrayed as the most disgusting, vile thing she’s ever done (get it? Because she’s a pretty white girl and they’re not supposed to do that in any other context). She’s gonna rethink her decision but she’s in too deep now. The movie is going to end with her staring blankly into the camera with some dude on top of her.

    This perspective is so trite even if it’s about an industry we don’t see that much cinema about.

  • This movie paints the porn industry without any real nuance and there’s some odd racial commentary in it that is half-baked without fully committing. It’s also tacky with its more r-rated scenes, for no reason censoring nudity in certain scenes where there should be nudity and in other scenes, putting nudity in places that are just too much.

  • I saw it last september and I really liked it! Ninja Thyberg was at the showing and told us that she toured porn sets for multiple years before making this film if I remember correctly.

  • Director’s name is Ninja. So badass. Swedes get all kinds of cool names.

    I didn’t think this movie would reach theaters. It’s got some cool stuff in it but mostly it’s a standard rags-to-riches story set in the porn industry.

  • The fact a lot of y’all are obsessed with the porn industry is a testament to how we raised a generation of creeps and losers who have nothing going on in real life

  • Saw this at a film fest. I really liked it, despite it being fairly predictable in its plot. I think it highlights some aspects of the porn industry which are considered normal yet to others pretty abnormal. Which is great, because porn is weird in the way everyone watches it and no one wants to talk about it. Great acting in it by the female lead too.

    It’s done by a female director called Ninja Thyberg too, so can recommend it based on that aspect at least lol
