Naked Ambition: An R Rated Look at an X Rated Industry

An entertaining, adeptly crafted documentary that treats its provocative subject matter with refreshing respect.

In contrast with Grecco's evocative photos, his film is scattered and platitudinous, skimming the surface of his subjects and betraying his high-art aspirations with a shallow E! aesthetic.

It's less a documentary than a promotional video for [director Michael Grecco's] book...

There's plenty of nudity, famous porn faces (don't worry, Ron Jeremy shows up), and a few respectable stories, but an overall arc of an idea with all this siliconed commotion? It never arrives.
