The porn industry has evolved over the years from something very dark and underground to something almost widely accepted. During the late 70s, we follow Eddie as he begins his journey from a "boy to man" so to speak. The sophomore film of Paul Thomas Anderson as he showcases at an early age in his career that he makes blocking a shot and storytelling look easy with how good this truly is. A film with much more to talk about than just porn will have you saying, "I'm a star" throughout this.
