King Cobra

"Director Justin Kelly‘s true-crime tale doesn’t let the explicit gay sex get in the way of dark humor and fascinating characters" 

"A dreary would-be thriller based on a true story (...) another opportunity for festivalgoers to learn how fascinated James Franco is with pornography" 

"Possibly the best film ever made about the business end of America's gay porn industry (...) King Cobra" is a sensitive and darkly hilarious true crime story" 

"King Cobra” is all smut and no soul (...) the director likes to provoke his audience (...) But the only sexy thing about 'King Cobra' is its many neon-lit driving scenes" 

"Despite its subject matter, 'King Cobra' isn’t a gay Boogie Nights (...) King Cobra is much more contained (...) Where Kelly and his cast let loose are in the film’s wild sex scenes, which both serve the narrative and manage to titillate (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)" 

"A movie of such wit and daring that it could transcend its LGBT appeal to become a crossover hit"
