Jacky St. James has taken over the creative reigns at my favorite XXX label Sweet Sinner, and delivers a bona fide winner with the generic title "Fathers & Daughters" (at first glance I expected merely a compilation of old scenes on the incest theme). Finished product is excellent.
It stars Jacky's favorite young talent Gia Paige, back from a year studying overseas in England, to visit her mom Reena Sky. Reena wants her kid to get acquainted with her birth father Ryan McLane, who Sky remains on good terms with 20 years after he ran out on them, and the other entanglement in this well-plotted romantic drama is her current husband and Gia's step-dad, Mr. Nice Guy Marcus London. ' Incest-specialist Jacky is content with crypto-incest this time, just as she was in dozens of New Sensations/Digital Sin DVDs before leaving that label. Her crafty script emphasizes infidelity as Reena has a fling with Ryan and in flashback London couldn't resist (a year ago) humping his step-daughter. Extraneous sex scene is well-handled, as nice Gia lends her bedroom to her friend Channel Heart, affording the viewer some quality IR action with Black actress Heart servicing her boyfriend Tyler Nixon there.
But in terms of acting and a torrid sex performance, Reena Sky steals the show away from Gia, and continues to move up toward the top of the heap in terms of current Adult Cinema performers. She's worth the price of admission, and testament once more to the importance in erotic entertainment of placing the sex in a dramatic context, rather than mere gonzo or abstract "artsy" humping.
One scene of sex in the dining room has a blurry in the background blackboard artwork depicting in chalk some furniture designs that looks suspiciously like a set left over from dozens of Jacky (and/or her cameraman then Eddie Powell) shoots back at New Sensations. I wish they had foregrounded it for a positive ID.
