Watch Sex: The Annabel Chong Story For Free

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This un-erotic documentary shows the life of Grace Quek, otherwise known as Annabel Chong, star of the World's biggest gang-bang. Quek seems to be a contradictory character. Even though she is doing graduate studies at USC and many of her teachers and friends refer to her high intelligence, she doesn't mind filming pornography and degrading herself. I'll give a semi-biographical synopsis of the movie's view of Quek from my personal perspective: Quek was born into a middle class family in Singapore. Her life seems OK. She decides to move to London to start college. One night she is brutally raped in an alleyway. Later she moves to LA, and while majoring in Gender Studies at USC, she decides to film porn as an experimentation against the anti-feminist views of society. The gang-bang is supposed to show her as a female stud who should be admired the same way as Hugh Hefner. I believe that first, Quek must have suffered from severe insecurity as a teenager due to her appearance(she does have rather bad teeth, and she feels that the porn community sees her as a beauty queen. Second, the rape she suffered extremely lower her self-esteem, to the point where she probably believes she has no worth. Hence, the porn makes her feel powerful. Still, she has extremely erratic behavior. When she is on Jerry Springer, she resembles a porn bimbo instead of a supposed graduate student. She attentively follows any order given by her porn producers, which are portrayed as they are, shameless pigs. Later she is discarded by them, and replaced with a better looking gang-bang girl.In one scene, when she starts yelling at someone on the streets and then runs, I get the sensation that she is extremely ashamed of herself and wishes to completely disappear from public view. But later, she is seen at an academic conference in London, again taking pride in her gang-bang. Either she's bi-polar or she suffers from multiple personality disorder. This documentary shows a lonely woman with extreme self-destructive behavior. She only has one friend, she doesn't seem to have a real emotional relationship, the porn community totally rejects her. As a viewer I ended up feeling sorry for this "porn star".

Sad portrait of Annabel Chong, real name Grace Quek, a student a USC who became briefly famous for sleeping with 251 men in a 10 hours. A warts and all portrait this is the tale of a woman who got into porn as a way of empowering herself and then found she was not as in control as she thought. Its not a matter of grand tragedy, more quiet desperation. (Eventually she leaves the business only to return a year later.) Its not a happy film. I know Chong was happy with the film and made appearances when the film played around the country. Is it worth seeing? I don't know. Its not bad, but its not compelling. In its way it cautionary tale is almost cliché. The choice is yours.

Probably everyone who has progressed from cell division as the reproductive means of choice has some interest in porn, but if yours runs a little deeper then the "Annabel Chong Story" is a very worthwhile documentary to watch, offering a truthful glimpse behind the scenes. And that's pretty much all there is to say about it.To dispel a few popular notions about this documentary, it's not exploitative other than of Grace Quek's (that's Annabel Chong's real name) exhibitionism save possibly her parents, it doesn't purport to chronicle all minutiae of human sexuality, pornography is probably not the most wholesome business to be and in and this fact can not reasonably be blamed on the documentary (don't kill the messenger), film maker Gough Lewis repudiates the fact that he and Quek were a couple at the beginning of this movie for the patent reason that he wanted to make a movie about Quek and not about their relationship, Quek is neither centerfoldish-statuesque nor is she phenomenally ugly with the "the most crooked teeth ever", if you think her views are bizarre then you have obviously enjoyed the privilege of blissful ignorance of the field of womens' / gender studies and, unsurprisingly, Grace might not be the wholesome waif that you can exchange coy glances over glasses of iced tea at the country fair with. In fact, she probably is a bit of a whore, bless her little heart.In approaching this movie please note that it is a documentary and not a sequel from Playboy's Girl Next Door video franchise, thank you.

I think this documentary is very good at showing how destructive the porn industry really can be, Annabel chong is show at times as intelligent as well as naive but the barons of the industry have no condolences to give to any of the young women like chong who lives they destroy whilst making huge sums of money. All I can say is, i'd like five minutes alone in a sound proof room with some of the men who manipulate and ruin the lives of obviously, innocent and vulnerable girls like Annabel. A good documentary, not award winningly shot but the message is clear to see from the makers 'Don't get scorn by porn' Not for the faint hearted, I saw this when it came out and every time i see it i still feel really bad for her and that i should do something about it, mainly to those directly responsible for corrupting her.
