5.0 out of 5 stars Amanada Seyfried in an important tale

Amanda Seyfreid is awesome. This was an extremely interesting story and one of which I knew absolutely nothing about. If I hadn't seen an actress of AS's caliber in it than I likely would have passed it up. Now, who knows how much of Linda Lovelace's perspective is wholistic to the facts, but the undeniable truth is that the porn industry had it's roots in the underworld and mafia, at this time, and so the seedy underbelly of the sexual revolution was filled with as much or more abuse as that to which it strove to do-away with.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING acting and crushingly real character transformations make Lovelace a great film worthy of a bigger release
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2014

AMAZING acting and crushingly real character transformations make Lovelace a great film worthy of a bigger release than it received. MOVIES LIKE Lovelace: The People versus Larry Flint (1996), Boogie Nights (1997) and 54 (1998).
This is the story of Linda "Lovelace" Boreman, her 17 day career in the porn industry making Deep Throat, and her painful before and after.

Rising from prudish origins in 1970 Florida, Linda (Amanda Seyfried) is discovered go-go dancing at a skating rink by a deliciously sleazy Chuck (Peter Sarsgaard). Chuck is charming and cleverly manipulative as he caters to Linda's insecurity and emotional shortcomings. In no time at all he moves her into his home, "teaches" her the oral techniques that brought her fame, and infuses her with a sense of confidence and belonging that she clearly never before felt living with her abrasive parents (Sharon Stone and Robert Patrick).

Swiftly after their wedding, Linda learns of Chuck's (now "their") financial problems. So they meet with pornographers Butchie (Bobby Cannavale) and Gerry (Hank Azaria), both characters are performed superbly, impressed by her oral gifts.

All of the characters we meet in the adult film industry are charming. Not just smooth, silver-tongued devils wooing Linda into the industry, but properly kind, sweet individuals who are grateful to be working with her. Butchie and Gerry are nothing if not endearingly played. Porn star Harry (Adam Brody) is immediately likable. Her promo photographer (Wes Bentley) teaches her to feel beautiful and comfortable in front of the camera. And Hugh Hefner (James Franco) candidly impresses on her that she is more than simply a porn star.

As Linda is transitioning into porn stardom, and with every invitingly kind pornographer we meet, we find Chuck becoming increasingly jealous and abusive. He slowly becomes all of the things (and so much worse) that she was fleeing when she ran into his arms.

The hangover of her manipulated path to stardom--the revelation of the frailty hiding behind the illusions and the sadness behind the glamour--is all too familiar. The People versus Larry Flint (1996), Boogie Nights (1997) and 54 (1998) find their characters fragmented and their souls disarticulated before our eyes in crushing reality much as we find with Linda's transformation.

All of the actors embraced their characters and did an amazing job; AMAZING. This film received little attention or advertising regarding its release and this is a shame. I hope more people eventually find their way to this excellent film.

SAD FACT: Deep throat made $600 million. Linda made $1,250.

4.0 out of 5 stars innocence, abuse, survival
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2013

this is a film with excellent acting and noble intentions, and tells an almost mythical tale of a woman's rise and fall and redemption. the astonishing thing is that the story is real, and we're shown the costumes and sets, excerpts from newscasts and television shows, musical hits of the era to prove it. what's sorely missing, however, especially for viewers born after 1970, is a depiction of the historical predicament of women in the years of early feminism. when two police officers interrupt an abusive episode between lovelace and her husband, and she fails to ask for help, one officer actually asks her for her autograph. the scene doesn't read right unless the viewer is aware that the duty of police to intervene in domestic disputes was not established by law at the time and wouldn't seem to the officers the "correct" thing to do; she wouldn't ask for help knowing those facts. worse, there is no reference to contemporary feminist developments, even though the meager plot of "deep throat" turns on its heroine's demand that she enjoy sex as much as men.

without being lurid, the film dissects the depravity of an abusive marriage, the husband alternating between affection and violence. because this is the part of an abused woman's life often hidden from outsiders, the film tells a large arc of the linda lovelace story "from the outside", as served up by the film publicity events, then reprises the key scenes with "the rest of the story" -- how each of them turned violent or degrading or manipulative. a judgmental mother and ineffectual father fail to help her; she doesn't reach out to her closest friends; investors only see her as a product ... which leaves her husband chuck traynor to use her however he pleases. the mystery is why she put up with it so long -- for that you have to look to the expectations placed on her by her mother and her catholic upbringing, the coercion and threats from her husband, the allurements of fame, but most of all her naive compulsion to please and be loved.

the principals are excellent. peter sarsgaard is almost satanic as the slimy, manipulative, cynical and cowardly husband, cruel to his wife and fawning to men with money, and there's a fine supporting cast to play the pygmies of the porn industry. a scene near the end, when lovelace's parents see her phil donohue interview on TV and finally grasp what their daughter has suffered and their complicity in her affliction, is sad and very powerful. amanda seyfried is convincing where innocence and earnestness are called for, and her natural sweetness comes through in many scenes, but lovelace's real pain is fully revealed only once, in a late night plea to her mother for shelter, and it comes before we see much of the abuse she suffers and seems unmotivated as we watch it. (a later rape scene is also presented without sufficient buildup, so it is shocking but less painful to watch than it should be.) at other moments of desperation or despair, seyfried seems bewildered, as if unsure what the two directors wanted from her -- more likely they were unsure themselves, or how they should handle the script. despite all that, seyfried and sarsgaard give gutsy, ambitious and engrossing performances.

Wow! This truly portrays what Linda Lovelace went through with her husband Chuck Traynor. Great acting by the entire cast, especially the 2 main characters. This movie is done with class and only implies what they are doing sexually. A must see!

5.0 out of 5 stars A tale of survival.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 16, 2014

In "Lovelace", Amanda Seyfried plays the star of "Deep Throat", the most famous blue movie of all time, a wonder of its time: the first fully scripted pornographic feature film shown in the theatres and claiming to gross $600m.

Having been a poster girl for icon for an era of sexual liberation, Linda Lovelace wrote in her autobiography that she was forced into making pornography at gun point, being regularly threatened and beaten by her then husband, played by Peter Sarsgaard (and oh dear, can he play a psychopath!).

Seyfried said the project was the riskiest thing that she did and could had ruined her career. But I thought the film was excellently done, it felt like a good drama, a nail-biting thriller, and it even had Mr Big in it (ladies, you get my reference). And, for such a difficult and controversial subject, the film is surprisingly watchable, catching on the empathy and compassion of the viewer - I certainly felt for Ms Lovelace. Seyfried blossoms on screen portraying a complex character.

Despite a somewhat weak ending, I still give the film 5 stars.

P.S. I almost missed Sharon Stone in there! I guess my attention was compromised as I was watching Amanda Seyfried, who gives an extraordinary performance!
