Peter Bradshaw Guardian Destricted is a series of short films by directors and video artists ostensibly investigating the relationship between eroticism and pornography. A lot of them are dire. Rated: 2/5 Aug 16, 2017 Full Review Jamie Russell BBC.com Full of hardcore, show-all scenes of couples getting it on, it's supposed to provoke debate about sex and art. In reality, porn has rarely triggered so many yawns. Rated: 2/5 Aug 16, 2017 Full Review Scott Foundas Variety Wearing its presumed scandal value like a merit badge, porn omnibus Destricted loses almost all its salacious appeal as soon as it hits the screen. Aug 16, 2017 Full Review Michelle Thomas Future Movies UK Whatever most of the filmmakers here were trying to achieve, it sheds no light on porn, simply reproducing it at its most trite, stale and unimaginative. Rated: 3/10 Aug 16, 2017 Full Review Erik Childress eFilmCritic.com It's a very up-and-down affair that alternately has us reaching for a smoke and wishing it was enough already so we can just get some sleep. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 16, 2017 Full Review Pete Vonder Haar Film Threat Destricted is good for a few inadvertent laughs, but as a sociological statement on human sexuality, it's practically worthless. Rated: 0/5 Aug 16, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

david f This anthology film is an attempt to explicitly marry art and porn. The 8 short films approach this goal in a variety of ways: some have fantasy elements, one is animated, another mashes up the documentary format and straight up gonzo porn. These approaches do yield new insights into eroticism, pornography, and human sexuality, and some of them are satisfying the way good student films can be satisfying - they are experimental and unbound by convention. The variety in quality and artistry is quite wide, so expect a complete reset of tone, atmosphere, and setting with each new film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Porn is an art and I love the industry. This so called "film" however is one random ass piece of work. Collaboration of shorts talking about the evolution of porn and it was all just downright silly especially the first 12 minutes. Only part enjoyable was the porn casting scene. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I did not read the film description before streaming this online. I saw the title and all the film festival emblems on the cover and thought, this should be interesting. Hard to believe this was marketed as a real film and not a porn. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Rating applies to Impaled only, as it was the only short in this anthology that I watched. Impaled: Larry Clark offers an insightful look into the minds and personalities of something never seen in the adult film industry: fragile, self-consious men. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member a wonderful collection of steamy hot erotic short films by acclaimed directors such as larry clark. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Most of the short films on here are BAD and I mean stinkingly bad. It's supposed to give the director's views on porn but how a guy jerking off in Death Valley and foreign ladies massive their breasts does that I don't know! Larry Clark's is the best short film on here, but it's more of an interesting documentary and I fancied the guy he picked which helped, even if he was doing a 40yo porn star up the bum. Oh, and check the guy in a digger, covered in mud having a wank and then using his jism to make a pot. Yes, I am serious!!! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
