Review of Sex: The Annabel Chong Story (1999) by Mallory A — 13 Sep 2009

A documentary that's reasonably interesting but quite frustrating as well. Maybe it's a bit outdated already- I mean, would the fact that a successful, academically inclined woman chooses to star in porn (*GASP*) be reason enough to make a movie nowadays? The film is nearly as undramatic as one can ever imagine, even though Chong does seem to have a melodramatic and seemingly self destuctive side to her.

Still, in the end she is a very common character who doesn't offer much of that social pornography this flick seems to be after. But in just that comonness she becomes a person who's life feels worth following for a while.
