Flop

frukuk

The stated storyline: "A woman's life working in the adult film industry spans from its seedy beginnings to a highly successful enterprise." What's that all about then? We don't get to see any of that.

This drama seems to take a rather cliched view of the adult entertainment industry and is much less informative than the many documentaries on the subject. Watch a few of those if you want to understand the highs and lows of the industry.

Not only does this drama fail to inform, it fails as a drama. The tone feels wrong, as if someone thought this material was too heavy and had to be leavened with comedy characters, e.g. Phil Daniels as Dave. In fact, most of the characters seem to have a comedic tinge to them, as if they daren't risk being taken too seriously.

If this had lived up to the stated storyline and had adopted a different tone, it might have told a worthwhile story in an entertaining way. Shame it didn't.

score 1/10
