Doesn't go inside enough
31 January 2013
This biopic doesn't really delve very far "into" Lara Roxx. The director painfully tries to use her for her own naive agenda (mandatory condoms in porn?!), whilst the protagonist resists this over-simplification and detachment, and yearns for the one and only thing she never gets -- love. She never got it from her parents. She didn't get it from the director. The film never attempts to properly explore the more difficult and important issues of her childhood -- the abandonment she experienced from her parents and family -- although there are hints of this that a more discerning viewer might be able to piece together.

There is a real story to be told here, with the charismatic and honest Lara that anyone should be able to identify with, but it's not in this movie.
