Pleasure
“The film fiercely homes in at the moral perversity of an industry at a particular intersection of capitalism, patriarchy, and digital-age spectacle.” – Slant Magazine
“But it’s Kappel, an actress with neither experience in the porn industry nor film, who turns in a star-making performance as Bella. She balances showing not just the insecurity and fear felt by this actress, but the joy too.” – Los Angeles Times
“A portrait of a business in which men use women for their own ends, and then convince those same women that this is how things operate—and, as a result, that they should behave likewise.” – The Daily Beast
“If you’re curious what a feminist take on this world looks like, “Pleasure” might surprise you as much as it did me.” – New York Times
