108 minute running time. About a Swedish girl who wants to become a porn star in America … it’s depressing, like all porn-related stuff … I saw the documentary “Hot Girls Wanted” (2015) many years ago, so my perspective on the reality of the industry was shaped by that … this fictionalized take doesn’t really compare to the real thing.

John Farr reco: “‘Pleasure’ is neither a standard cautionary tale nor a blunt indictment of what is admittedly a seamy, exploitative business. The director’s goal is simply to show it as it is.” It was already done years ago in “Hot Girls Wanted,” see that one instead.
