Ex Dominatrix: A True Story

Watched this film with only a very vague memory of the actual events back in 2010. There are many words that spring to mind whilst watching this; intriguing, shocking, moving, sensual and erotic, but ultimately the two most descriptive words I can think of is uplifting and hopeful in this documentary. It was great to see how Ira dealt with such a sudden and shocking event in the height of her Dominatrix career, and her subsequent transformation into an almost completely (although there are similarities) different lifestyle. It is a shame she has based herself so far away as I could certainly use some spiritual life lessons from her.

Beautifully crafted and thoughtful feature-length documentary which humanises and contextualises the story of a professional dominatrix whose world was blown apart when a death on her premises became a national scandal, almost ruining her in the process. For all its larger-than-life spanky, shiny shenanigans, it's the love and courage and humour that Ira and her family and friends have in spades that stays with you.

I'm not a man of many words and i'm not gonna start now....But let me say this about this nicely documented true story.....Life trows mud at us all and sometimes it's very hard to cope with....This story shows you how you can turn around the misery in life and come out as a winner.

Having not read the headlines in the press at the time of the incident, i sat down to watch the film with a completly unbiased opinion of the story. Having now scene the film, i only have one bias - that is, our true friends are those who stick with us when the chips are down and help pick up us again.

This film is well balanced and researched exmple of a feature length documentary. It does not judge the receivers or givers of pleasure and only focuses on the facts and the humanity of the people concerned.

It is a true testament to the love of a family, circle of friends and an overwhelming sense of dertmination that make one realise anything is possible.

This documentary shows to us a great exemple how to find the right ballance in our lives, even when we are stucked in a hard situation. Ira didn´t give up and she found a way to the bright future again. After a tough life exam she looks very happy now. Don´t hesitate and watch this close insight into personal life of excellent mother and one of the best dominatrix ever. Ira will be a Goddess for me forever.
