Pornhub, the internet's most famous adult entertainment platform, fundamentally changed how pornography is made and distributed. This enabled erotic content creators to reach a massive audience while the company made billions of dollars -- but it also became embroiled in allegations including non-consensual material and trafficking on the site. As anti-trafficking organizations seek justice for victims, can the online giant protect those from whom they profit, or is this a new wave of censorship for adult performers making consensual porn?

Katie Rife Polygon It’s titillation with a side of radicalization. Mar 22, 2023 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times A thoughtful look at a controversy unlikely to fade away, so long as modern technology and prurient interests continue to exist. Mar 21, 2023 Full Review Camilla Long Times (UK) A powerful and well-made documentary... Mar 21, 2023 Full Review Rudie Obias Battle Royale With Cheese This is a great look into one of the adult entertainment industry’s biggest websites. Jul 5, 2023 Full Review Alejandro Lingenti La Nación (Argentina) Being such a controversial topic, the biggest merit of this documentary is to offer as many points of view as possible.

Jonathan A It was ok for what it was but without cooperation from sone of the execs it's really very one sided. Seemed very rushed and should have spent more time on the history of the company. I'd I've been curious to hear sone of the law makers about the recent law that was passed. Or further explore slightly the control that just the few credit card processors can control on everyone's "free speech". The focus seemed to be my "free speech " but used the porn hub brand to get views. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review Cem Y It had a good promise, but the structure was not great. The message was not clear which is a usual thing in such documentaries where the incidents are told by the people in the documentary. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/29/23 Full Review Alonso I A really well made documentary that shows the reality behind the scenes of the porn industry. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/28/23 Full Review Dan R 'Money Shot: The Pornhub Story' is the Netflix documentary not to watch with your parents! SYNOPSIS: 'Follow the rise of the most famous adult entertainment platform and the recent backlash it has received.' Is this the most controversial documentary on Netflix? Well I guess it depends what your sensitivities are, but being such a controversial topic, the biggest positive of this documentary is to offer as many points of view as possible on difficult subjects. This doesn't demonise porn or the porn industry but it does show that when the pure focus is capitalism things can go horribly wrong. The issues raised within this documentary are deeply concerning and it appears no executives have been taken to task yet. Fascinating. 7/10 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/23 Full Review Robin H This was like watching wall paper peel. The topics presented could have been covered in 5 minutes. I expected more. Maybe I fell asleep, but I don't remember any mention of amateur content where people make their own videos and upload them primarily for fun and excitement rather than to be professional porn stars. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/06/23 Full Review Morgan I am so over movie after movie of this content. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
