- Despite De Palma’s provocative promises, the movie seems tamer than its potential and more interested in the absurd workaday sex business than arousal; Crimes of Passion is an extreme comparison.
- Jake should remain in adult filmmaking after immediately landing featured work, with the Chemosphere an ideal set and comic qualifications about technique.
- Consensual unsimulated sex in mainstream films is advocated as a remaining boundary, contrasted with screen violence; The Brown Bunny’s backlash and explicitly unconfirmed rumors about other films are discussed.
- This is called the best limited integration of the adult-film world into a mainstream movie; Boogie Nights, Hardcore, Wonderland, 8MM, Orgazmo and others supply comparisons.
