Critic Reviews for Porno

All Critics (50) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (40) | Rotten (10)

  • Porno is a funny and frightening time-machine trip worth taking.

    July 6, 2020 | Full Review…

    Becca James

    Chicago Reader

  • For a film unafraid of occasional full frontal nudity, this is surprisingly puritanical, especially when you consider the plot.

    May 8, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

    Odie Henderson

    RogerEbert.com

  • Even if the sophomoric Porno doesn't make the grade, it represents a promising start for the talented filmmaker.

    March 19, 2019 | Full Review…

    Frank Scheck

    Hollywood Reporter

  • This gory teen comedy blends laughably outrageous carnage with a legitimately scary plot to delightful ends. Throw in a winking fetish for cinephile culture and audiences are sure to go wild for the gutsy film.

    March 14, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

    Jude Dry

    indieWire

  • There's an amiability of intent and execution that keeps "Porno" watchable.

    March 10, 2019 | Full Review…

    Dennis Harvey

    Variety

  • Porno's playfully amusing critique is woven into the fabric of its plot, although just as integral to the saga's charms is Racela's fondness for rubbing his audience's noses in the shocking, the lurid and the grotesque.
