Sarah Gibson's feature-length doc portrays the adult entertainer and filmmaker as she lives her life in the eye of a Donald Trump-shaped storm.
Daniels” Clifford. Daniels — referred to with dripping contempt as a “porn star” — was an opportunist telling lies about Saint Donald of Trump. In the name of professional advancement and personal brand-building, she fabricated an affair and accepted payoffs .
Unfortunately, the exhaustive repetition of the most familiar parts of her narrative — plus an over-reliance on poorly utilized footage from an ethically compromised earlier documentary project — left me more irritated than moved byWith an admirable lack of salaciousness, Gibson traces Daniels’ personal biography from a rough upbringing in Baton Rouge to her early forays into exotic dancing and her successful career in the adult industry.
The month-by-month trip through 2018 is thorough to the point of monotony. Daniels was a constant presence in the news at that point, giving regular interviews — she is shown backstage atto reinforce the ouroboros of the media cycle — and engaging on social media. It isn’t wholly been-there-done-that because there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes footage from her various hotel rooms and tour buses.
This is an unconscionable breach of documentary and journalistic protocol. Maybe if the timeline were clearer, it would be possible to watch scenes of Daniels and husband Brendon Miller hashing out the end of their marriage without being bothered by the fact that a frequently on-camera filmmaker was later cited as a cause of the divorce.
