Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

lastliberal In the same year that Steve Zahn was winning a Special Jury Prize at Sundance for Happy, Texas, this movie was competing for the Grand Jury Prize. I have to admit that I was not expecting a film that discusses triple penetration to be one on my list, but it came highly recommended by someone I trust.This film will give you some very interesting things to see, and I don't mean naked women, even though there is plenty of that. I was intrigued that the mother of this middle-class Chinese girl from Singapore was interviewed. Anyone that knows anything about society in Singapore knows this is 180 degrees from reality. In fact Annabel says: To Singapore, pornography is filth. That's okay. But it's become a national ideology that, just, you know, a value judgment, you know, to do pornography is to be against the collective agreement of what it means to be a Singaporean. F*ck 'em. They can lick my a**.I had to laugh when one porn star (MIchael Coxx) stated that her signature act gave porno a bad name, and a porn star (Ona Zee) trying to pretend that she did "high class" porn.It was a great inside look at the business that killed Beta and will kill Blu Ray.I love fried zucchini, but I will never look at a zucchini the same way again.

mandaloria After seeing this movie i really felt sad for Annabel/Grace. She has got brains, she is also a very mentally unstable person. I think that what got across really well in this movie is the duality of her character. The porn-star and the malaysian girl so to speak. The scenes with her family is very touching, just as the footage from her "gang-bang" is nothing but the plain opposite.This movie gives an insight to the realities of the porn-industry in an non-flattering, but honest, manner. It IS very obvious that Grace is not in control of her situation, with her totally different appearances in this documentary. Sometimes she is the hardcore slut-queen, sometimes the academic, sometimes the bimbo and mostly she just seems lost (not to mention self-destructive). Quite a schizofrenic experience. I know that she is playing a role and living up to peoples expectations, but i still....see for yourself.I think that this is a very important and thought provoking film in many aspects..and should be seen by much more people. This is Annabel´s movie, straight out..just like a documentary should be. It is up to you, the viewer, to make up your mind about the questions it raises. And they are very disturbing.I hope she have found peace with herself now.Note: I do not take side in the pornography-debate here, but you will never look upon the porn-industry in the same way again after watching this movie.

missamerica1974 This is a well-done documentary, but it is also very disturbing. While Annabel Chong may claim she sees her recording breaking sex-a-thon was about women's empowerment, what the filmmaker managed to show is that she is a deeply disturbed woman.

Reggie_Charan While a compelling film, Sex: The Annabel Chong Story never gives a satisfactory answer to the core question of why the titular character chose to sleep with over 250 virtual strangers in a single day. What could possibly be her motivations? What was she trying to prove? Chong herself makes vague statements about the act being an expression of female sexual empowerment and "an ego trip." Instances of sexual assault and drug abuse in her past are mentioned as well. In the end, however, the viewer is left with no better understanding of why someone would choose to follow such an extreme and potentially heartbreaking path in life. One thing is certain though, Grace Quek is one damaged human being. Playing neither the role of defiant punk slut rebel or vulnerable woman-child entirely convincingly, she ultimately comes across as a very confused young woman searching for an identity. Whether through porn or (hopefully) some more respectable means, you can't help but hope she finds it.
