75A relatively straightforward portrait of Holmes, using interviews with family members, friends, wives, X-film producers and his former co-stars.
-
75Disarmingly intelligent if scattered documentary.
-
70A fairly tough-minded film until the end, when several commentators who have been critical suddenly turn misty-eyed and suggest that underneath it all, Holmes was really a sweetie.
-
63Fascinatingly, many of the interviewees disagree vehemently about Holmes' personality: some of his co-stars and colleagues found him repellently abusive and selfish.
-
60Holmes's story isn't pretty, but it's fascinating, in no small part because the people Paley interviews offer a glimpse into a brief time when making porn was an act of rebellion that attracted a diverse and eccentric group of filmmakers and performers.
-
60Filled with people who cut Holmes more slack than he deserved.
-
Fans of the famed porn star, who died of AIDS in 1988, will want to catch this exhaustive 1998 video biography.
