Directed by: Rob Epstein, Jerry Friedman
Released: 2013
The fictionalized(?) story of Linda Lovelace and her time spent filming "Deep Throat". I put a question mark after "fictionalized" simply because of the controversial and divided views people have concerning Linda and the film. "Lovelace" is based on one of her books (I can't remember which one, whatever the first one was), and tells the supposedly true story of how she was coerced into working in the porn industry. Regardless of what side of the story you believe, this was a very good film, and it did a damn fine job of portraying a sleazy 70's Miami. Peter Sarsgaard's Chuck was extremely convincing and totally scummy, and Amanda Seyfried did an excellent job as Ms. Lovelace. And Hank Azaria as the sleazy porn director? Shit. That was just perfect casting. 8/10
