A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I understand why these women did porn. They are boring as poop otherwise. I feel it isn't fair. Tell the other side of the story. How porn creates jobs. This was probably the least interesting documentary I've ever seen. It did, however, motivate me to go back to watching porn hub. #sad.

Realistic and sad documentary about the people who left adult entertainment industry and never has a normal life...they has to lives disguised an even so they are recognized some ways...many actors and actress are interviewed to tell their sad stories and how they trying overcame a social segregation....a historian who wrote a book about this matter spoke over the negatives effects of their life forever,some has psychological problems...another says "they are treat as Scum of the society and has no respect for them"... after used for long time and they are throw in garbage after their attractiveness no longer exist.. ...the same people that enjoy adult movies try to avoid from this people after porn,denying to them a second chance...this a serious subject to study and make all of us think about.Resume:First watch: 2017 / How many: 1 / Source: Netflix / Rating: 7

Despite the provocative poster and provocative title, there's very little provocative material in here. For what you were actually expecting, I'd recommend Louis Theroux's documentaries on the subject. After Porn Ends seems content with the fact that porn stars have to exist after the cameras stop rolling, and after they retire; and as such, it meanders. There's no great sense of purpose or depth to any of the questions. Its more than a bit depressing, but not in a fascinating way like in Theroux's works. Having said all that, some of the stars are quite likable in small doses so I got some enjoyment out of that. Just not very much. 1/5

Before we start, a quick nit - why the "Ends" in the title, it doesn't add any understand-ability and it sounds more dramatic without it. Anyway, the documentary which covers precisely the material as advertised could easily have been a NPR "Frontline" installment except for the spliced in footage of the subjects' past lives. Kudos to Bryce Wagoner for using that footage both sparingly and as archival material rather than wallowing in it to raise the titillation factor of the film. Also kudos for a balanced presentation between "actors" who suffered from their prior involvement with those who profited from it and those for whom it was just something they did for a living in the past like selling insurance or bookkeeping. Of course, this does take some of heat out of the proceedings and the film does allow the audience's minds to wonder on several occasions particularly during extended interviews. Also, the subject is limited: of course, most former stars will go on to some of a normal life while others will hang on to the industry given a lack of other employment options. In short, a tidy but limited documentary.
