Rating: 7 out of 10, A Netflix rental I hadn’t heard much about it but the cast looked amazing and it took on the story of one of the cultural icons of the 1970s (a real comment on that era). Lovelace tells the story of the actress who achieved her fifteen minutes as a porn actress. It’s more about her victimization by an abusive husband and the courage she eventually found to escape him. I may be one of the few people from that era who never saw this flick (just a little too young at the time) (honest) but it was fascinating to see this back story. The movie is almost like a documentary in form. It was a little strange to see Sharon Stone as a cold, unrecognizable mother and the young dude form the O.C. as Harry Reems not to mention James Franco as Hugh Hefner. Seyfried is just a litle too good looking for this role but does well.
MVP: Seyfried in a layered performance as the title character
