Reception

British writer Gareth May, in an article for the British lifestyle and culture site TheDebrief, described the film as "a potential game changer for the porn industry."[6] Salon's writer Tracy Clark-Flory wrote "it’s a far more attractive and better-acted porn film than most. But it’s the focus on incorporating the explicit sex scenes into a well-developed narrative that really makes it stand out."[2] The un-rated version of the film received the Best Narrative award at New York's 2015 CineKink Film Festival,[5][7] and was awarded Movie of the Year at the 2015 Feminist Porn Awards.[5]
