Lovelace (2013) 7/10

Starring : Amanda Seyfried, Peter Sarsgaard, Sharon Stone, Robert Patrick, Juno Temple
Director : Rob Epstein & Jeffrey Friedman
Running Time : 93 mins

Linda Boreman (Seyfried) finds herself coerced by her abusive husband Chuck Traynor (Sarsgaard) into featuring in a blue movie, and when the movie becomes a huge commercial success she finds herself in the limelight as a star in her own right, but when she decides she doesn’t want to make any more porn films her husband starts forcing her into doing even less agreeable things.

If you want to see Amanda Seyfried with her boobs out, then this is the movie for you. This effortlessly goes from tongue in cheek humour to serious drama with hardly a seem in sight, and for those who haven’t seen the film this talks about, this is a nice plot description without having to watch the movie itself. The performances are reasonable, but I wasn’t a fan of the back-and-forth direction which annoyingly relied on writing “six months later” up on screen to explain that time periods had changed.
