Amanda Seyfried earnestly attempts an honest portrayal of Linda Boreman, but the Deep Throat actor remains a mystery

Directors: Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman
Entertainment grade: B+
History grade: C+
Linda Boreman, credited as Linda Lovelace, was the star of 1972 porn film Deep Throat. Later in life, she became a prominent figure in the anti-pornography movement.
Structure
Lovelace is a film in two parts. In the first, a young, naive and compliant Linda (Amanda Seyfried) falls in love with shady Chuck Traynor (Peter Sarsgaard), stars in Deep Throat and achieves fame in a whirl of kitschy 70s glamour. Then the film flips back to the beginning and starts filling in the nasty bits it left out the first time round. This is a clever way to handle Boreman's own take on events.
