Italy, 80s/90s, the birth of Italy's porn industry: Riccardo Schicchi and Diva Futura are revolutionizing culture with all the biggest stars of the moment, Cicciolina is elected to parliament with twenty thousand votes, Moana runs for mayor. These iconic divas, known all around the world, had hidden heart wrenching life stories. None were there by chance, together they made one big family.

Variety

What may have been charmingly unworldly in a man becomes disingenuously simplistic in a film that refuses to really look into the forces that propelled his giddy rise and blameless fall.

Giulia Louise Steigerwalt’s (Settembre) sophomore effort definitely has its moments and some standout performances.

indieWire

Ronchi’s impeccable comic timing subtly brings out the best in Castellitto’s long-limbed, energetic performance, reacting to his absurdity with looks so withering they would stop a freight train.

Rated: B+

In Their Own League

Giulia Louise Steigerwalt’s great achievement here is that she achieves a lightness of tone despite some desperately sordid subject matter.

The Upcoming

Although shot with real cinematic style, a shambolic script doesn’t do justice to the scandalous tale it wants to tell.

Rated: 3/5

Next Best Picture

It’s an emotional look into the industry, the people who make it up, and the societal challenges these workers face.

Rated: 7/10
