Iamwhoi M @Shaboutiques Jan 30 Boring, poorly written flick. Doesn't even begin to feel like NYC in the 70s-80s. Just AWFUL. Cardboard characters, including Vanessa. See more Goomba B @RT92343377 Dec 26 Slick, funny and interesting. Good cast. The great Vanessa deserves a better bio. See more Alexander O. @Alexander_the_Great Dec 5 Do yourself a favor: don’t waste your time 👎 See more Chante T @RT69219965 Dec 2 1.It had the potential to be a great movie about the iconic porn star….it had no real direction,it was all over the place,I was so disappointed.Some of the backstories didn’t make any sense to me. 2. It should’ve been a miniseries/limited series,maybe the backstories would’ve made more sense. 3. The best part of the movie was that it looked good,very authentic,very real. See more joel g @davidbondo Sep 19 I cannot believe vanessa Del Rio-real name Ana Maria Sanchez would be satisfied with this movie -like documentary. Could have used a Total script re-write. It did a decent job of looking at her childhood which guided her into the P lifestyle, but that is it. Remember in her heyday she was an icon. An icon for the latina as well as the african american woman who wanted into the "P" lifestyle". Vanessa was a top-notch "P " star for 200 films , and ruled the P world for approx 6 years. If you saw some of her films you saw she had an enthusiasm during every scenet that was second to none..Jerry Butler called her the most enthusiastic actress he has worked with. The movie could have shown the types of parties she was invited to, The drug lifestyle she was involved in or stayed away from, the celebrities that she mixed with etc, etc,The financial highs she rode for 10-12 solid years.. Instead u get this look at her life that is really dis-jointed, going back and forth from present day to childhood. Jesse metcalf could have re-written a better more co-hessive script if he was invested and so inclined, but I think he just wanted in and out. And the movie focused TOO much time on metcalf and his boyfriend. Like , who cares?.. The movie is supoosed to be about vanessa and her hardships and tribulations, not metcalf and his aids infected boyfriend. For that I cant recommend this poorly made movie about someone that was waaay better than this junk. See more Read all reviews
