Leave your thoughts about Naked Ambition: An R Rated Look at an X Rated Industry.
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinAn entertaining, adeptly crafted documentary that treats its provocative subject matter with refreshing respect. |
| Filmcritic.comBill GibronAs a look inside the porn industry itself, it barely scratches the surface. |
| Seanax.comSean AxmakerIt's less a documentary than a promotional video for [director Michael Grecco's] book... |
| The Hollywood ReporterJenelle RileyFeels surprisingly tame, coming off more like an extended advertisement for Grecco's coffee table book of the same name. |
| Boxoffice MagazinePete HammondWhether Grecco, with his awestruck, sycophantic narrative style is really just doing this all tongue-in-cheek or itâ(TM)s a legitimate attempt to get inside the industry is debatableâ"but, for as far as it goes, it works. |
| VarietyAndrew BarkerWhile it admirably avoids either schoolboyish titters or schoolmarmish prudery, the docu's cheery neutrality comes at the expense of any point of view at all. |
| L.A. WeeklyLuke Y. ThompsonIt isn't really a documentary about the porn industry but rather a documentary about the making of a coffee-table book containing posed photos of porn stars, fans and moguls. Director Michael Grecco is also the photographer making the book, so perhaps "infomercial" would be a more accurate description. |
| User ReviewCarly GUntil this morning I had no idea who Michael Grecco. Now I now I've seen his work before but I didn't know anything about him. I was recently in a terrible snowmobiling accident and have been pretty debilitated for the last 3 to 4 weeks. What that translated to was me sitting in my theater recliner watching copious amounts of Netflix documentaries. I came across Naked Ambition this morning and figured what the hell, I'll give it a shot. What an impressive film. I've literally watched hundreds in the last few weeks and this one is by far my absolute favorite. The documentary was so well done and he really showed a different side of that industry. Michael really knows how to capture the essence of his subjects. What makes them tick. This film gave me a great education about the AVN show and the adult industry in general. Very fascinating. And while you watch you also get to see Michael's incredible photography in vivid HD. Bottom line, it was an enjoyable and inspiring hour and a half. Watch it. It's fantastic. I'm now a huge Michael Grecco fan. I truly hope he produces more just like this on some of his future shoots. |
| User ReviewTim LI've always been fascinated by this industry. Especially living in LA. I've met and known a number of women who are very comfortable living this lifestyle and doing it quite successfully, though I'm not sure that's the norm. I found the film very interesting and it certainly gave me more insight into a subject that many aren't willing to admit that they are interested in. |
| User ReviewMichael MGreat film. Funny about the porn industry |
