Eric Henderson Slant Magazine A provocative examination of the cinematic relationship between the viewer and the viewed. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 5, 2004 Full Review Michael Booth Denver Post Porn Theatre is exactly that, no surprises. Rated: 1/4 Jan 16, 2004 Full Review Tom Long Detroit News Repugnant in its salacious superficiality, Porn Theatre manages to be boring and vile beneath its transparent veil of artistic pretense. Rated: F Dec 12, 2003 Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com it's a world that should only be seen in the dark Rated: 3/5 Mar 30, 2004 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International The rueful humor, feverish desperation, hard-won glory and simple monotony inherent in gay male desire have rarely been more trenchantly captured. Feb 7, 2004 Full Review Anita Schmaltz Metro Times (Detroit, MI) If nothing else, your curiosity should be sadly satisfied. Rated: 3/5 Dec 31, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Set in a grimmy adult theatre, a teller, a projectionist and a customer begin a friendship. As part of the French extremism, the film was graphic with its depiction of sexual acts. It's quite hilarious at certain times but it feels more like a voyeuristic adventure into the seedy parts of France where no moral boundary is found. I hope this is not an accurate portrayal of real life but I did enjoy the simplicity in the film, although watching a real porn seems more satisfying than watching Glowing Eyes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member because its worth it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member im very norma sicke Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Goddamn Frogs suck. Suck dick. Suck tranny dick, to be more precise. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Un portrait du desir masculin avec, pour decor, un cine porno parisien decatit - a l'etage : l'echange, les conversations, les petites confessions - au sous-sol, le porno en contrechamp, les echanges, le desir brut ; tantot contrarie, tantot assouvit. Et qui continue sans cesse... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting slice of life and representation of a community. It's a slow, meditative film that is worth the watch if you happen upon it. I can't say I may ever have a reason to need or want to watch it again though.
