Review of Lovelace (2013) by Sol C — 25 Aug 2013

The performances are the best reason to see this film. This happens to be in my opinion, Amanda Seyfried's best performance on screen, so far. She should get an Oscar nomination for it. She shines in the role. Sharon Stone also gives an Oscar worthy role as Lovelace's mother. The film is well casted.

The film itself feels unfocused. The structure of the film seems off. The 3 act structure goes like this: the making of Deep Throat, the abuse Chuck gave Linda, and reconciliation. I found all the making of Deep Throat very interesting. The film is not Boogie Nights. It kind of reminded me of movies like Monster, Bad Ass, and the People Vs Larry Flynt.

I recommend the film, especially for the performances.
