Critic Reviews for Pornography: A Thriller
All Critics (7) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (5)
Despite marvelously moody visuals and a tantalizing setup, Pornography: A Thriller finally puzzles more than it pleases.
Ambitiously layered and almost completely incoherent.
Taken independently, these chapters probe the thorny porn star-viewer exchange, but Kittredge can't connect the dots into a worthy climax. In other words: all foreplay, no full release.
Pornography is more in love with the notion that a thriller could come to life in a porn setting than with what is actually interesting and relevant about its subject matter.
Writer-director David Kittredge's spooky, ambitious thriller about the mysterious fate of a gay porn star is equal parts David Lynch, The Fluffer and 8mm.
Frustratingly elliptical and slightly convoluted, but unconventionally and intriguingly structured enough to maintain suspense amidst its tangled web of blurred realities.
Audience Reviews for Pornography: A Thriller
Pornography: A Thriller in an ambitious failure. A single story told in three parts without a real driving force behind it, the film is never able to put the pieces together adequately on screen for the story to make any logical sense. The filmmakers were trying for dream logic, to be fair, so to say they flubbed the editing or the writing is not entirely fair. However, when the mystery takes place over three different time periods and the sole intent of the film is to confuse the viewer, it's not smart; it's frustrating. This would have been a much more interesting film if any of the individual stories had been fleshed out to cover the entire running time (the rise and fall of Mark Anton; the gay porn historian; the actor/writer/director creating his version of what happened to Anton). The actors do all they can with the material even if very little makes sense and the overall story is impossible to piece together. And, lets be honest: a movie about the gay porn industry and named "Pornography" is expected to be, well, titillating. The film never really achieves that, either.
