Julia Cooper Globe and Mail Mehta takes his audience behind the curtain of Leone's strategic brand-building - from commercials, to private events, to film sets - yet rarely ever delves deeper than the veneer of her glossy celebrity. Rated: 2/4 Jan 13, 2017 Full Review Bruce DeMara Toronto Star Mehta weaves a beguiling tale with an unconventional protagonist. Rated: 3/4 Jan 12, 2017 Full Review Jim Slotek Toronto Sun Mostly Sunny presents a plethora of odd angles to Leone's story. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 12, 2017 Full Review Radhika Menon Decider While it tees up plenty of interesting sociopolitical and intercultural topics, Mostly Sunny fails to connect on anything of substance. Feb 23, 2021 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Mehta's gorgeous cinematography and mastery of the material makes this a must see. Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Tina Hassannia National Post While the film seems to be asking the question of whether or not Leone can make it as a "real" actress, it does not illustrate her career trajectory. This is utterly confusing for viewers ignorant of her success. Rated: 2/5 Jan 12, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 24 minutes in India!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With real footage and interviews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought this was a well-done, interesting, thought-provoking and honest documentary about an entertainer I had never heard of. Karenjit Kaur Vohra/Sunny Leone's life story, views, and personality were engaging. I read that she didn't support the film in it's finished form, which I was surprised at, given her apparent openness and honesty. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member An amazing journey of a very intelligent business woman who happens to be absolutely gorgeous! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a propaganda piece that's aiming to get you thinking about Sunny as a Bollywood actress vs the mega porn star. It focuses on her marriage and monogamy and the acceptance she has received from the country of India. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Very informational, we were studying about sex trafficking and porn in my English class, and having an in depth study of the life of sunny kinda helped. I expected this to be absolute trash when this popped up on my netflix, but I was pretty surprised. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A disappointing treatment of what could have been a fascinating story. An Indian-American porn star returns to publicly prudish India to become a Bollywood legend. The (true) story has tremendous potential, but this meandering film never goes below the surface to ask the obvious questions. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
