I am very sorry for what the real Linda had to suffer under an abusive and violent husband, but I can't tell when she lies or tell the truth. It is known as a fact that she made some abominable short films previous "Deep Throat", things that are not even mentioned in this film. And I meant it, terrible abominable stuff, something so disgusting that you cannot even call porn (and she wasn't the victim).

Amanda Seyfried shines as Linda Lovelace, giving depth and vulnerability to a woman often reduced to a headline. The film plays with two perspectives—the glitz of a cultural phenomenon and the grim truth of abuse and exploitation hiding beneath. While it doesn’t fully dive into Linda’s inner world, it still works as a sobering contrast between fame and trauma. A difficult watch at times, but Seyfried and the supporting cast keep it compelling.

Lovelace tells the lurid tale of notorious porn star Linda Lovelace. After hooking up with adult industry manager Chuck Traynor, Linda is brought into a life of prostitution and pornography, starring in the landmark XXX film Deep Throat. The plot has a rather odd structure; the first half shows an idealized version of Lovelace’s rise to stardom, and then the second half retells the tale from a darker perspective that shows the behind-the-scenes abuse and violence that she suffered. Starring Amanda Seyfried, Peter Sarsgaard, Robert Patrick, and Sharon Stone, the film has a solid cast. Seyfried in particular gives an especial versatile performance that shows the many different sides of Lovelace; naive young girl, porn star extraordinaire, and domestic violence survivor. However, as fascinating and provocative as the story is, Lovelace tells it poorly and fails to explore the characters in much depth.

Her story is great but the movie felt like a clumsy adaptation even with great portrayals by the actors. Balances out to a 7/10

Wow I thought her mother was Sharon Stone. Sure loved all the small cameos.
