De l'eXcellence à l'indécence

Wow this was one of the most idiotic movies LMN has produced since cyber seduction, another movie based around porn. I just can't be bothered to feel an once of empathy nor sympathy for the main character. She decides to enroll in some super prestigious expensive college that's why out of her price range so she decides to become a porn star to make ends meet. #whitepeopleproblems. I'll admit the movie was still fruits enjoyable despite the off putting premise but at the same time it promotes this pretentious idea that doing porn is a completely normal thing to do and that's it's even "empowering ". Why is that women these days seem to think every screwed up action they take is in some way empowering or beneficial towards their gender I'll never know . I don't care what your view on porn are, that pretend for even a second that it's some noble thing to do. It's a Shady business and doesn't need to be glamorized. I'm not a prude, far from it, but it's really telling that the producers really saw nothing wrong with the utterly flawed ideology presented here. Keep your sjw views out.

First i thought it would be a great adult film but a less exposure and lots of unsatisfied terms cause a death for movie. I have seen quite good horror and porn movies but this one is disaster as well as horrible. fully staisfied with this comment "I'll admit the movie was still fruits enjoyable despite the off putting premise but at the same time it promotes this pretentious idea that doing porn is a completely normal thing to do and that's it's even "empowering ".

Watching this movie was a rollercoaster, first it says its ok to do porn and people should be more supportive of it, since many do it of their own free will and then it tell us its not ok?

Like what the hell, im realy open minded guy and i like to hear different sides ,but this story did not make sense to me. It just isnt worth to watch unless you have time and you like "depatable" topics

This review is written from an open minded male father's perspective. The film was difficult to watch as a father who would not want his own daughter having to earn her university tuition making adult films, nor being harassed by both male and female college students insulting her for her choice of employment and propositioning her to have group sex. Funny hah hah? No! Funny nah nah! People make personal choices in their life but they should not be openly criticized just because we may not agree with what we may consider to be a poor choice.

On the other hand I would be even more uncomfortable if my daughter earned her income working the grave shift at a gas bar where she could get robbed and/or raped by gunpoint with no one around to stop the crime. I would also not want my daughter operating a crane 50 stories up in the air, or excavating coal 200 feet under the earth surface all considered to be dangerous but acceptable employment from the mass perspective.

The message I absorbed from this made for TV film loosely based on the true story of the life of Miriam Week's using the stage name Belle Knox while performing in adult films and attending Duke University where her annual tuition fees were $60K a year Miriam relieved herself from the financial stress of her choice of school's expensive tuition and unfortunately replaced that with even a greater stress by attempting to maintain a secretive life in the adult porn industry from her family and school friends. One would ask why didn't she just apply for government loans? Miriam did apply to the government for financial assistance but she was turned down by the government.

Yes, there is a seedy side to working in the adult film industry where women appear to be the subject of pay for play but ask yourself this question. How many men in adult films make as much money as their female co-stars do? Although I did not agree with Miriam Week's choice of employment she appears to have come out of the experience all in one piece and she has a message for the rest of the world. University tuition is very expensive and maybe Bernie Sanders should run again for the U.S. presidency in 2020 to have his platform succeed, free tuition for all students and free health care. Even the adult film actors would be in favor of that platform. It appears that Miriam Weeks may take up the stand in her future political career if Bernie would only agree to support her.

I give this made for TV film a decent 6 out of 10 rating.

People need to learn how to review a 'film', and not express their opinions on politics or religion!

Out of the 5 reviews before posting mine, at least 2 are garbage and don't discuss the actual film made.

So my take on this: well done for amateur actors/directing for a made-for-TV movie.

I am a fan of 'based on a true story' films, and sure, 'maybe' this was a little off based on the full true story but it made me at least research the actual character and even look at her interviews. It was very interesting and compelling. I even recognized one of her speeches verbatim in the film on one of the interviews.

All in all, I think this film was on point on her real life story and anyone who has interest in this girl or this topic should see it.
