This film started off really great with a porn star unlike any you've ever seen. Which, depending who you ask, made the film unrealistic from the get-go. I liked her, liked her voice, her point-of-view. The film has this odd shift near the middle and turns into an almost completely different film, which is unfortunate because the first part was actually quite good. James Woods is good as a man with Parkinson's, but the character feels like it's just there to make the lead character seem more sympathetic, however Juliette Marquis is fantastic and doesn't need it. She gives off an air of thoughtfulness and beauty all in the same look. She'll be big one day. I know it. Another actor I hadn't really noticed before was Tomas Arana, and he was really great as her porn producer with a heart of gold. This started off as a good film and turned into a bit of a cliché, which was too bad. Could have been a lot worse, but it could have been better if it kept the tone of the first half throughout.
