Porn Theater

Not for the sexually conservative. Not even for the sexually moderate liberal. It is, however, for the right crowd in the right mood, a very fine film.

When Porn Theatre stays in the darkness, its minute observations about grindhouse culture are hypnotic in their accumulating detail.

Not for everyone, but the open-minded should find it enlightening as well as entertaining.

The detatched, fly-on-the-wall perspective, however, offers little insight into the strange gender game that's played out in the dark safety of the porn theater.

Nolot elicits the last response expected from a movie that's almost entirely about sex: a yawn.

Bored audiences enduring this talky, aimless film might wish that they, too, were watching the porno film that is seen only in brief snippets.

It's a grueling 70-minute march toward the end credits.
