128 minute running time so at least 30 minutes too long … I like some of Sean Baker’s stuff but this one didn’t work … it was too long and the “story” was weak and ultimately pointless .. the ageing porn star was far too intelligent and articulate, it did’t ring true at all … and what are we supposed to think about him? He’s a terrible, manipulative guy, or just a pathetic goofball? He can’t be both. There is no way I can recommend this one, give it a miss.

Kathleen Sachs gets it right: “There is indeed f*ckin’, fightin’, and full-frontal nudity to be found in Baker’s overlong, ragtag character study of a suitcase pimp going home to Texas City after falling from stardom in the porn industry. But what it dispenses in salaciousness fails to account for the lack of any meaningful undercurrent that might make the vulgarity interesting.”

Alison Willmore writes: “The always-admired ability to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep going has never looked so depressing."

Dick Brody also wasn’t thrilled.
