Day 155: This Girl's Life


A porn star takes us through her life at work and at home. As well as taking part in porn films and be a part of an internet porn house, she also cares for her father who has Parkinson’s.

Moon (Juliette Marquis) is comfortable and content in her work and she says that rather than get paid doing something that makes you miserable, why not do something you love? She and the other women we meet all seem to enjoy what they do for whatever reason they do it. That is, to begin with. As the film progresses, Moon questions the way she's living her life. After being asked by a friend to check to see if her boyfriend would cheat on her, Moon decides that this is something she wants to do all the time. She was dissatisfied with the lack of women involved in the behind-the-scenes aspects of porn and she thinks that if she starts up a sex investigator business then she’ll be calling the shots. She is very enthusiastic about it and has a lot of clients but after a frightening encounter with one of the men she was meant to deceive, she questions what she’s doing and whether she’s causing damage to families. Moon seems to come to the decision that the sex investigator business is bad news and around the same time she decides not to renew her contract at the porn company she had been working for. She doesn’t know what she wants to do with her life but she knows it’s got to be something different.

If you don’t like films where the character(s) talk to the camera, then I’d give this one a miss. The idea was good but I didn’t like the way it was shot in a sort of documentary style. Interesting but could’ve been better executed.
