'A curious meditation on the pleasures and terrors of S/M, in which interviews with enthusiasts collide with choice porn clips, Fleisher cartoons, Hans Bellmer poupees... The results are compelling, this film lingers, never once slipping into hype or deadly cool.' - Manohla Dargis on L'Amour Fou, Village Voice
'Please please show this film! It's unique, it's real, it's not like any other film. What one sees in it, can not be seen anywhere else. It will shock some, but the fact is that there are shocking things in this world and we should know it and see it, nothing human should be hidden from knowledge. You made a very REAL film about REAL people. One of the most difficult things to do in cinema. I congratulate you.' - Jonas Mekas on Chop Off
'Her cinema is marked by a lush sensuality, a concern for light, play and artfully woven soundtrack.' Barbara Hammer
