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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Scott Foundas Variety 08/16/2017
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. Go to Full Review
Michelle Thomas Future Movies UK 08/16/2017
3/10
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. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
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. Go to Full Review

Destricted is good for a few inadvertent laughs, but as a sociological statement on human sexuality, it's practically worthless. Go to Full Review

david f 07/19/2022 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. See more 10/14/2012 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. See more 08/06/2012 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. See more 07/07/2012 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. See more 04/10/2012 a wonderful collection of steamy hot erotic short films by acclaimed directors such as larry clark. See more 03/14/2012 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!!! See more Read all reviews
