Lovelace (2013), Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman
4/5
This excellent and disturbing film follows the intriguing and infamous public and private life of porn star Linda Lovelace. Amanda Seyfried is excellent as Linda supported by a great cast. The film isn't overly dramatic, but it is disturbingly believable. While the film doesn't feel like it has any overall agenda, rather it delves into Linda's personal experience, which is subtly portrayed and doesn't revert to voice over or other simplistic means. Instead it uses back and forth jumps in timeline to convey this fractured and interesting story. Overall the film focuses on the tension of the very public portrayal and inner experience of "Linda Lovelace" i.e. Linda Boreman. This is an excellent drama, with great visuals and performances.
