The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

You should judge something for what it is, not for what you want it to be or thought it would be. This documentary is not about the whole porn industry but about young girls who think that they will be successful by doing this. Have you seen the pictures uploaded by young girls nowadays? One of the girls in the film says she feels confident when men tell her how beautiful she is, it's the same with women showing their bodies on Facebook and Instagram, they think that being hot and slutty is "cool", that's how they validate themselves. That is the type of porn stars this film is about. Although the girls have different personalities and points of view, most of them agree, at some point, that it's degrading. They do it for the money and "fame". It's an easy way out for so many women who think that doing this is actually something to be proud of. Not every single woman has the choice, some of them might be forced to do it but I do wonder if the majority of porn stars do it because they don't have another choice... I really don't think so. I might be wrong but come on, you can clearly see that many young girls in the states actually see this as an option to make good money and be independent, and why? because it's OK now, as I've mentioned before, it's actually cool. They don't see the whole picture, those videos are going to be there forever, friends will see them and situations like the one experienced by one of these girls at a party are going to happen more than once.The fact that so many young girls are into this is worrying, what's the problem with doing a documentary about this particular side of the industry?

This is a good doc to watch. But with the producer growing up with privilege she didn't portray this very well. She made it out to be that these girls are so deprived and feel stuck that this was their easy outlet to a better life. No, these girls are from middle classed families not deprived. She makes is out to be industry is dangerous and wrong. But, by looking at it in this situation it isn't the case. These girls were there on their own free will. They have a roof over their heads and that scout books their gigs and goes with them to them. That scout does it in such a way that the girls are not forced into anything shady or put them in danger in anyway. If they want to leave or want out he lets them. These girls come to him not vise versa. So I didn't like how they were making it out to be that this industry is a bad situation. The material contradicts the theme of the Documentary. If you want to do a doc about this then use subject that fits your vision. Not the exact opposite.

I have read the other reviews here and the majority falls down to two categories; anti-porn (exploitation) and pro-porn (choice). I saw more pro-porn, guess some people don't want to accept the vindictiveness of their porn.But that's not what this documentary is about. This documentary is based around the coming and going actress within the industry and how their naivety are taking advantage of for a couple of months when they are "young and stupid". But, they also have the choice to do it. They were giving a home, money, and the perfect life style of being "free" and doing what they wanted to do.The best is they are free to leave when they want to. When the actress had enough, they are even congratulated and they are left alone. The reason for the niceness is because the "model finders" (Ex: Riley) always know there will be four other young girls to take her place. Like Riley said; "Every day a girl turns 18 and every day a girl wants to do porn." This is a powerful piece because it didn't rely on drama nor facts, it relied on reality. I was glad that Riley allowed the documentary to take place as he knows this won't change anything. Women will keep entering the industry and lads like him will still be getting richer. The cycle won't end for him and he is fully aware of it. Just look at his face at the end of the documentary. His grin says it all.

Okay first of all to all you salty ass bitches, I'm suspecting you're only giving this documentary a poor review because you, yourself, are an avid porn watcher and don't see anything wrong with the industry.Yes it's true these women had the choice to shoot porn but there were a couple instances throughout the film where they talked about basically being tricked into doing, what seemed like simple scenes, only to find out it's something much hardcore. The recruiter could have been extremely vague in describing the type of work the girls had to do and thus, MANIPULATING the girls to come out to the producers. Once the girls are actually there in person, it becomes easier for the producers to get the girls to do what they want.The part where one of the girls talks about how she now understands how RAPE VICTIMS feel is because after being taken advantage of sexually, she will forever feel crappy about herself. This type of experience is not something you can easily bounce back from.Why do you think rape victims are so fragile?It also explains why some women continue to be in the industry because its not something you can just quit and walk away that easily without the emotional baggage catching up sooner or later. Hence, the Duke college student doesn't actually "talk" about her experience because it's probably something she doesn't want to remember.I honestly had to make an account to make this review because a lot of the negative reviews probably came from middle-aged to old ass white dudes who walk around wearing ugly flip flops showing their nasty toes during the summer.
