"This is not an easy movie to watch, let alone talk about. 'Pleasure' attempts to show, in broad strokes, that everything has two sides - in this case, we are talking about pornography. The story, which seems to be about how a woman can take ownership of herself within an industry made by men and dominated by them, ends up becoming a plot about how macho society and male power hinder any female ambition. A straight-to-the-point movie that weaves a relevant critique about this universe, which grows in the most diverse possible ways. If you are a woman, some scenes may be triggers and even make you reflect on your experiences - since we know that a large part of men are raised by the porn industry."
