Even Trade

This pair of mundane "real-life" vignettes from Bree Mills' "True Lesbian" series make for a boring VOD. Aiming for sex-positive content, the prolific pornographer delivers uninspired little stories.

"An Even Trade" is a segment about a shy girl who's bullied at college, played wimpily (and one-note) by Gizelle Blanco. She's befriended by jogger turned Good Samaritan Freya Parker, and as they get to know each other Gizelle successfully tutors Freya in math, imrprovintg her grades.

Reluctantly Gizelle ends up making love to Freya and eventually gains confidence. The scene is well-meaning as an intended life lesson but comes off as saccharine.

Sentimental and maudlin at times, "The First Day" is Bree Mills' attempt at presenting heartfelt porn. After delivering thousands of cynical, silly or mean-spirited scenes in her decade as pornographer, it comes off as belatedly sincere but dull.

Jenna Foxx stars as a girl unsure of herself, coming out of the closet. We get repetitious aural flashbacks of the voices of apparently mommy and daddy disapproving.

She keeps trying on clothes to get things just right for her first date as a lesbian and the surprise is that it's with a prostitute, nicely played as a dominating type by Aaliyah Love (who has settled into MILF roles now that she's over 40).

The scene becomes rather pedestrian once the situation has been developed, and leads to a corny "wistful" ending. Trying to portray "real experiences" will only take you so far, Bree is learning.
