Sublime and Awe Inspiring!
Deborah Anderson has delivered a very inspiring look at the human condition of a group of women that work in what is probably the most harshly scrutinized cabinet of the entertainment industry. Many watchers I feel were looking at this documentary to resemble your standard documentary like a Michael Moore film. This film was never meant to resemble a typical documentary and should not be judged as such. This is an art form documentary that is a chronology of the photographic process in which Deborah Anderson produced and completed her new book.

This film, first and foremost, is a vehicle of self-promotion for its director, Ms. Anderson. Beyond that, it shows young, beautiful women talking very briefly about their lives.

Some of the women in this film seem lost or, at least, fooling themselves(and the viewer). One woman tearfully said she was afraid she might have "f'd myself" by going into this line of work. I would wonder the same thing.

Highly recommended
Beautifully shot, tastefully edited, and quite insightful. An absolute must see if you're curious about the porn industry, photography, or simply want to enjoy a quality documentary.
