Review of Pleasure

Pleasure (2021)
7/10
Poor Title, good Film
6 September 2022
This is a good film, but I don't like the title. This film is about anything but Pleasure. I don't think we see a single person experience pleasure in this entire film.

This is however a good story about one woman's experience in sex work. Her story is a very negative experience in sex work that is painful, scary, and traumatic but not pleasurable at all. This story is a very true depiction of some women's experiences in sex work but not everyone's. For example, see the movie, The Sessions, which is a very different look at sex work and is a beautiful story.

There is some amazing depth to Themis film and the characters in it. This isn't just a stereotypical portrait of the porn industry, but shows many difference facets, personalities, and characters. Excellent acting and directing, and an interesting story arc.
