"A sensitively written, well acted erotic drama that finds surprising sympathy for its characters and explores both sides of a provocative issue."

"ENTERS THE DARK AREAS OF DESIRE AND LOOKS INTO THE ABYSS OF SEXUAL EXPLOITATION WITHOUT FALLING INTO SENSATIONALISM."

"Partly tragic, frequently funny and always touching, it creates characters you care about even when they go astray."

"A COMPELLING CHARACTER DRAMA THAT SHEDS FASCINATING LIGHT ON AN INDUSTRY WE RARELY SEE."

"Avoids cheap thrills in favor of strong characterization and difficult moral questions."

"CRAIG WASSON MAKES THE MAGIC HAPPEN AND MAKES "THE PORNOGRAPHER" A THOUGHTFUL EXTENSION OF THE CINEMA GROUND PLOWED BY 'BOOGIE NIGHTS'."
