Added Jul 10, 2020: A convincing period biopic that paints Linda Lovelace (Amanda Seyfried) as a victim all her life: damaging upbringing (overbearing mom - Sharon Stone), an abusive relation with a pornographer (Chuck Traynor - Peter…

2013. A mainstream semi bio film about the life of 1970s porn actress Linda Lovelace. Well done. I found it interesting & sad.

"I choked Linda Lovelace."-T shirt slogan As long as there is "Boogie Nights," any film set in the world of pornography can only hope to be second best. This 2013 film takes as its subject Linda Lovelace, who gained notoriety as the star…

This is a movie that's easy to underrate, especially if you don't watch the entire thing. It's the story of Linda Lovelace, who became an overnight celebrity in 1972 after starring in a porn film ("Deep Throat") her husband helped…

The movie has too many stars and the script not enough substance . Certainly there was more to Lovelace than her stint in the adult film industry.

I had heard of this person but knew very little about her so I was interested. the story line and the facts about her life and how she finally found happiness and got out of the trade was interesting. All in All if you lived at the same…

Fairly good telling of a true but sad story. I thought it jumped around a bit too much, and was too short. The music was great however, and it did a good job in re-creating the 70's atmosphere.

Excellent cast and a gripping story. Good to know about the slimy underbelly of our multi-billion dollar porn industry.

This movie is riveting and is not for the faint of heart. I also learned that we should never judge another person until we know their full story.

A well-acted and remarkable film with two versions about the origins of the iconic landmark porno 'DeepThroat'. It views like a feature film,.. yet its unique flavor reflects that it was directed by two documentary film-makers. ( Kev's…

WHAT A SHOCKING STORY. HOW DID SHE KEEP FROM GETTING PREGNANT AND STD'S? I NEVER DID SEE DEEP THROAT WHICH CAME OUT IN 1972. SHE WENT FROM A STAR TO A VICTIM. APPRECAITED THE FILL IN FOOTAGE WITH PHIL DONAHUE.

This took me by surpise. After 45 minutes, the movie changes and becomes really serious. Not just a story about a porn actress. It becomes the story behind the story which has very serious issues. Based on a true story and someone who…

In my opinion, not a bad movie. There are of course scenes I'd rather go without seeing or were along the line of TMI but that was to be expected, given what this movie is about. The film starts with the "happy" version first, then…

Poorly written and directed. The film doesn't even choose a version - it alternates between what most people believe happened and what Linda later claimed actually did happen. It doesn't answer anything and there's no real storyline. You…

Interesting biopic. I knew her name, but nothing of Linda Lovelace's story. Amanda Seyfried did a fine job portraying her.
