Sex: The Annabel Chong Story
First screened in February 2020
Director: Gough Lewis. Documentary about a Singaporean student of anthropology and gender studies at USC who becomes a porn star and elects to chase the world record for sexual partners in a single afternoon.

Twitter Capsule: Direction patently inadequate in clarity, rigor, or tact. Still manages to illumiante in some areas.

VOR:   Valuably adds some dimension to a figure and an impulse vulnerable to simplistic, moralistic reduction. If only the tale were in surer hands.
