Reviews
“Grounded in years of meticulous research into the porn scene and cast with actors drawn entirely from that world except for Kappel herself, Pleasure is very persuasive in its evocation of the milieu.”
Leslie Felperin

The Hollywood Reporter

“If you’re curious what a feminist take on this world looks like, Pleasure might surprise you as much as it did me.
Manohla Dargis

The New York Times

“But it’s Kappel, an actress with neither experience in the porn industry nor film, who turns in a star-making performance as Bella. She balances showing not just the insecurity and fear felt by this actress, but the joy too.”
Robert Daniels

Los Angeles Times
