Variety
The sexually charged tale of a woman's journey of self-discovery, VARIETY is a fascinating film that challenges familiar stereotypes surrounding feminism and pornography.

Controversial and highly personal, VARIETY deals honestly with a female sexual point-of-view, and in doing so announces itself as the major film of a director who embodies the essence of independent cinema. |
