Product Description

In 1972--before the internet, before the porn explosion--Deep Throat was a phenomenon: the first scripted pornographic theatrical feature film, featuring a story, some jokes, and an unknown and unlikely star, Linda Lovelace. Escaping a strict religious family, Linda discovered freedom and the high-life when she fell for and married charismatic hustler Chuck Traynor. As Linda Lovelace she became an international sensation--less centerfold fantasy than a charming girl-next-door with an impressive capacity for fellatio. Fully inhabiting her new identity, Linda became an enthusiastic spokesperson for sexual freedom and uninhibited hedonism. Six years later she presented another, utterly contradictory, narrative to the world--and herself as the survivor of a far darker story.

The film was good. Loved the old school feel and the way it was shot. As any movie, they exaggerate some things for interest but overall a really good movie.
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.

It was interesting, but it became a bit boring at times. Flashbacks do not help with jagged timeline. Many of the characters are underdeveloped and their motivations are unclear. Feel like a longer movie that was cut down.
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2014
The Seventies were an age of new sexual permissiveness that was not only reflected in our culture but in our cinema as well. Aside from mainstream films like "Midnight Cowboy" and "A Clockwork Orange" hardcore pornography was being viewed in theatres by couples which was previously the domain of lonely men. "Deep Throat" grossed more than $600,000,000 which is astounding when you consider that was more than "Star Wars" took in. In the advent of home video the majority of purchases was porn. New superstars emerged like Marilyn Chambers, the former Ivory Snow girl, Harry Reems, and John Holmes. None captured the public's imagination as much as Linda Lovelace (Amanda Seyfried), the product of a strict Catholic upbringing whose fresh faced girl-next-door persona catapulted "Deep Throat" to the stratosphere. Unknown to the public is that Linda was deeply unhappy and beaten and manipulated by a Svengali-like husband, Chuck Traynor(Peter Sarsgaard), into performing repulsive acts. "Lovelace" plays more as a cautionary tale as opposed to exploitation and directed with great sensitivity by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. There is nudity and coarse language but it is not done for the purpose to titillate but to educate. Young people should heed the film's message that wolves are hiding in the brush waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting and vulnerable among them. Seyfried gives a terrific performance as Linda though I thought Sarsgaard telegraphed his villainy a little too obviously. Sharon Stone gives a multi-hued turn as Linda's mother which in lesser hands could have been clichéd. James Franco, whose been in everything this year, is totally unconvincing as Hugh Hefner. Noteworthy is that Eric Roberts, who played hustler Paul Snider who murdered his Playmate wife Dorothy Stratton in Bob Fosse's "Star 80", has a cameo as a polygraph operator. I've never seen "Deep Throat" and this film is an impetus for that to remain the case. Linda may no longer be with us but at least she found peace in her life.

I remember that era and the sensation created by "Deep Throat"; I even saw parts of it back then, but I never had much interest in the 'starlet'. I wouldn't have tried this movie except that it had four stars. How it got four stars I don't know. It was slow, bland and pointless. I was bored out of my skull before the twenty minute mark, and turned it off. Was her life worthy of retelling in a movie? The question probably is, like so many things, debatable, but for me the answer is 'no'.

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.

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!
