Adorable
Making a gay film about a gay film porn star can be a hall of mirrors.
But the film I saw today avoids the bad luck of busting the mirrors.
Adored: Diary of a Porn Star (2004)
is from our private collection. I ran out of Netflix films with the long weekend and so I start with our gay film collection. From the beginning.
I think I will start to work my way through it.
It has been awhile since I have seen any of these films and it was refreshing and enjoyable to watch this one again.
Today's film has a story which is slight but sentimental enough that there can be tears at the end if you can let go and just be in the moment of the film. The sexiness is nice, not in your face. This is a guy who makes money by being a porn star but he is more of an R rated porn star than the XXX kind.
He has a life and he has interests and above all, the film is about reconciliation with his brother. So it is a brother film with a gay twist.
It is 5 because I bought it. It is really really a 3 because it is an averagely good brotherly-love story. I have a soft spot for these because I am an only child, I guess.
