This is XXX and nasty and Jack and I did not like it one bit. Pretty 19 year old Bella (Sofia Kappel) goes to LA from her native Sweden to work in porn and immediately gets into some hard core stuff. It's the most violence we've seen without any blood. We watched it only because of my voting privileges for the Spirit Awards. I didn't pick it for either of its two nominations--Best Director for Ninja Thyberg and Best Supporting Actress for Revika Anne Reustle AKA Zelda Morrison. Apparently most of the cast, other than Kappel, is from the porn industry, including the kindly character Bear who drives Bella and gives her advice. His stage name is Chris Cock.
Rotten Tomatoes' critics are clearly less squeamish than we are, with a pleasurable average of 87%, while its audiences' average of 57% is higher than we would rate it. It seems that the critics approved of its, er, exposing the porn industry. We endured it on February 11 via a Spirit Awards screener.
