Review of Mope

Mope (2019)
8/10
Good but Horrible
13 October 2023
I've never seen a movie that made me feel so empty and sick since "Se7en". This is a good movie, but it's also horrible. What I mean is this movie IS a good film narratively and cinematically, and we'll acted and written. But this movie is horrible as in it's NOT for the faint of heart. It is also not a movie people wishing to enter the adult film industry will want to see. However it is one that those wishing to enter adult entertainment NEED to see.

This is based on a true story about two men who so desperately wanted to make it in the industry, they were willing to take on the most humiliating and debasing jobs within adult entertainment. It's no secret women are routinely objectified and used again and again in this business. However, this film shows the world that men also are treated like a cruel child's playthings.

If you come to this film expecting to laugh, you are sorely mistaken. This is a motion picture that sheds light onto the most dark and disgusting part of the already controversial world of X-rated cinema.

What makes this film worse is that one scene at the end intercuts footage of the film with footage of the real event that took place, reminding us of the horrible truth we are being told.
