[Kevin] Anderson portrays the D.A. as an unbending, controversial figure who slowly realizes that he's driving his son away... [Ron] Silver embodies the porn mogul with such vigor and humor that he emerges as the more likable figure. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 11/22/2019
Star-crossed lovers [D.J.] Cotrona and [Olivia] Wilde are particularly inarticulate, even by the standards of real teenagers; they have little to say to each other past "I love you" and "I love you more." Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post 11/22/2019
