Review of Lovelace (2013) by Alex R — 21 Aug 2013

Deep Throat was one of the most famous adult features that have ever been made. Everyone has heard of it, and this Drama based on film star Lady Lovelace is an entertaining film, but one that just doesn't go in depth with its interesting subject.

Lovelace is good, but it needed lots of work to really make it standout. The cast do a fine job at elevating the film's average material and though it is an imperfect attempt at capturing the life of Lady Lovelace, the film does manage to show you what goes on behind the scenes.

With that being said, this film should have been much better as well, and though the story is engaging and entertaining, the film had so much more potential of being so much better as well. Despite its shortcomings, the cast elevate the material and make this a good film to watch.

Every actor brings something to the screen that makes Lovelace a better movie than it actually is. The film is not on par with the like of Boogie Nights, but it is still worth seeing due to its subject matter.

For a subject such as this, a two hour film would have been necessary, but the problem is, is that the filmmakers try to cram as much detail into the story in a short run time. The result is a good movie that shows room for improvement, but is nonetheless an entertaining film that boasts a talented cast and effective performances make this an engaging picture from start to finish.

You can only guess how much better the film would have been if the filmmakers would have made a longer film instead of rushing through the material.
