Alain E @AlainE Jun 18, 2026 A superb film about a difficult subject. Both Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard deliver very strong performances, Sarsgaard having the disadvantage of playing an a-hole. Very good cinematography with excellent colors and angles chosen. Yes, it’s a movie about the porn industry, so how I dare finding anything positive about it? All type of preconceptions are rampant in the published reviews. Someone thinks that the movie sugarcoats reality. For the record, the movie shows that Lovelace was beaten and forced to prostitute herself. If this is sugarcoating, I do not dare imagine what that critic considers abusive behavior. Besides, noone is watching porn anymore and the last skin flick was shot about fifteen years ago. Very good music as well, down to the final credits. On Prime, but it is leaving. See more Rich S @RPS1963 Feb 28, 2025 Linda Lovelace deserved a better telling of her story. Despite an exceptional cast, it's no surprise about the path the film took considering one of the co-directors was named Epstein. See more Lúcio Leonardo P @LucioTomas Sep 4, 2024 At first it seemed to me like an empty film, wanting to show a porn fairy tale, with some gaps not filled, then, the story is being completed and there is nothing fairy tale about it. It can't be easy being a porn actor or actress, no matter how "hot" a night for two or even the solitude of a Friday night may be, the underground world of the porn industry is far from glamorous. And Linda Lovelace's trajectory could not be different. And whoever is thinking that there will be "putzzaria à la vontê", can take the horse out of the rain, as the entire plot is shown in a light way, but without losing the heavy tone that was Lovelace's life.

As others have observed, the script was so weak that the actors never had a chance to make it good. But they tried. Amanda Seyfried gave a damn fine performance -- such that the movie was bad in spite of her, not because of her. Still, she should be more selective about the scripts she chooses. This one was just uninspired and unoriginal. See more dave s @RT68722908 Aug 16, 2021 The first half of Lovelace plays itself out in a linear, paint-by-numbers manner as it details the life of Deep Throat actress Linda Lovelace (Amanda Seyfried) from the time she was living under the oppressive rule of her parents until the time she left home with adult entertainment hustler Chuck Traynor (Peter Sarsgaard). Just when it appears that the film is going to stick to the standard biopic formula, events start to pinball around in time, creating a confusion that was probably similar to Lovelace's turbulent life. While the whole thing is a bit of a mixed bag, it is ultimately saved by Seyfried's performance, a raw and gritty portrayal of a strangely iconic performer, a tragic figure whose life was, sadly, defined by a single performance.
