Movie-making gone bad
19 October 2004
Warning: Spoilers
This movie seems mostly to want to make the audience feel bad.

It also seems to want to make audience never want to see a pornographic movie again.

Its style is you peeking into the production of a pornographic movie, where you get to know the characters through very harsh effects.

All the characters have life stories with varying degrees of bad pasts, and certainly they've hit rock bottom since they are in this story.

The characters are good, the acting is good, the technical style of the movie is intentionally made home-video-like, and this is also done in a good fashion.

The story is simple. The people in this "family" have lives gone bad. (You may well reflect that the world has gone bad since there is an audience for this movie, or for the movies they are making in this movie)

You get the point after fifteen minutes, there is very little development after that. You get deeper into the minds of the different characters, and the story is cemented over and over - but after half an hour I was longing for the end - not only because of the at times disgusting scenes, but also because I felt I'd got the point (if I got the point at all). The only reason for staying is to push your own limit to what you can stand to see on a movie screen.
