Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Don Wow While the fashion photographer who made the film works to glamorize her subjects, she doesn't mince their words in editing, and the closeups on the actresses expressions are actually devastating. I was looking for a film that would change my far too positive view of porn to be more balanced, and seeing that even the top porn stars aren't that happy about their work says a lot.The actresses start sounding conflicted and upset as they go deeper in the questioning. They basically all qualify any positive thing they say about porn with a contradiction. They're all dealing with one harsh reality or another. Posing in front of the camera they seem really out of their element when they're not expected to sell themselves, but it's fascinating.If you interpret what they actresses are really saying, it's sad; doubly sad that so many blindly love porn. For once the actresses are all really human though.

otoole007 Count as a documentary if the film maker is answering her own questions? After the first 15 minutes I realized this was about a whole different kind of masturbation. Over stylized and way self important. Stop moving the camera, I'm getting motion sickness. Not art and not interesting. If there was a point I was missing it. Why Black and white? Is there really such a high percentage of girls with strong religious backgrounds or is that an effect of selection and editing? I flipped channels and started watching House of Lies on SHO instead. This has nothing really to do with Aroused but I needed to fill in 10 sentences and there is not enough to talk about in Aroused. Griffin Dunned is a terrible actor. House of Lies is lousy too BTW. Yawn.

ghigau I have nothing against pornography or documentaries. However, a documentary about pornography needs to get past the self-serving interview that is the sole menu item offered on this smörgåsbord.Everyone has two reasons for doing what he does; the real reason and the good reason. This film is dishonest because it presents only the good reasons, delivered up by the porn stars themselves. As a result, the documentary is not particularly penetrating. There is some reason that Shauna Grant, for example, killed herself. Many dozens of other porn stars, male and female, have done the same.There is some value in seeing the women talking about themselves, but the prevarication is obvious and transparent -- a wee bit of the happy hooker fantasy.

augiedog34-425-725391 I enjoyed the actresses giving their stories and giving the viewer a glimpse into their lives and a vivid portrayal of why they got into the pornography business. It is sad and enlightening. It also gives you more respect for the industry. On the other hand I could not stand how Deborah Anderson constantly interjected her off handed self promotion, and name drops on numerous occasions. A documentary should be about the people on the subject of the film, not the person making it in my opinion. She is very annoying and distracts from the film. The actresses are very open and honest. It is worth watching if you have Showtime. If you do not have subscription take a pass. Again this is just my opinion haha.
