I stumbled into this as a free view on Amazon, and I'm so grateful that I did. This is a completely compelling documentary by interviewers who know when to be quiet. Although the topic for discussion is tightly themed on eroticism I found this captivating me in exactly the same was as the Finnish documentary 'Steam of Life'. The subjects offer the same candour, and many give gripping monologues. A remarkable piece of film making.
This isn't a bad film, and at the risk of damning with faint praise, most aspects are consistently adequate. At times it feels like a narrative loosely wound around a music video, with a lead actor with very limited acting skills but not a bad voice.
The themes tread well worn paths, and unless you're a real fan of the soundtrack it really doesn't have much to offer.
Viewers would do well to consider 'All About Eve' for a study on the price of fame, or John Carney's 'Begin Again' for a film with similar themes but much stronger talent. The former is a 9/10 out of 10 film, the latter a strong 7/8. This is a 5.
