Review of Don Jon (2013) by Mick Lasalle for San Francisco Chronicle — 25 Sep 2013
Don Jon deserves praise for wearing its message lightly and yet for daring to present such a lecture in today's Internet-drenched environment. Gordon-Levitt may be blithe in discussing pornography, but his movie nonetheless asserts that porn is addictive and destructive, that it intrudes on intimacy, and that it short-circuits the capacities for interaction and also, ultimately, for pleasure.
That's a serious subject and a committed viewpoint, handled with wit and intelligence.
