The movie addresses a very important issue in America: what young people are willing to do, in order to pay high college taxes, in order not to have any debts. It is very well highlighted, but they completely cutted some inportant parts of Belle Knox's story: in the movie it is not mentioned that the girl suffered of depression and when she was younger she used to cut herself. These are very important aspects that they simply cut off from the script. This is why, before watching this movie you should read articles and watch her documentary on YouTube, to have the complete picture.
What I have appreciated is that they have recreated a real famous interview that she made, in which she claimed the porn for women is empowering. It is clear that she said that just to justify her actions, telling herself a lie. Nobody in fact ever took seriously this declaration, even other porn actresses.
The acting is awful: the interpretation by Haley Pullos is flat most of the time and sometimes is too forced. The cast in general is not convincing and I did not feel any kind of emotion, I could not feel any bound with characters.
I gave 4 stars because the way the movie address the issue regarding college taxes is good. But for the rest, this production seems more a very cheap teen drama, than a bio picture.
