| This movie casts a disapproving eye at AV life and the circumstances which drives girls into the business. Somehow this comes off as not interesting. The rape scene is shocking along with her parents’ reaction to it. Then it is one depressing scene after another. From hanging out on the streets, to working at a bar, to finally meeting her savior who happens to be a DJ. Will he find out about her previous life and can he get over it if he finds out?
Good if you like your girls as sad looking as the chick from "1 Litre of Tears" but with more makeup. Through it all there is some guidance if you are looking to pimp out a troubled girl, not a lot, but some that "Lilya-4-Ever" glanced over. This is easy to accomplish because the girls are morally lost and will take any advice, even if it comes in the form of a slick producer, mark, trick, supposed friend or co-worker. For a movie about an AV star, there is no nudity, just some implied sex. There is not much of an AV life to speak of. She is on two video covers, goes shopping a lot and is recognized inside the bar she works at, but ignored elsewhere. Those film credits do not boost her clientele since every other girl working there apparently has a film record. A couple of lessons to be learned here: Don't sign contracts without a lawyer or really thinking through them. Don't believe the guy with a big man-purse, even if it is filled with money. And if you are alone and your guy friends try to get you inside a van containing two other guys, run.
