Movie Reviews of She Stole My Voice: A Documentary About Lesbian Rape (Uncensored Version)
Movie Review: A brilliant horrible joke a la Andy Kaufman
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie is a brilliant horrible joke. Whoever made this film is laughing so hard at us that they will not stop laughing for a long time. On one hand the documentary seems to deal with a serious matter, such as lesbian rape. Most people who are interviewed seem to talk about the theme in a believable way. The testimonials seem believable too, on the surface. The narrator of the documentary, the explanations she gives us are believable. The text scrolling down on the screen about the fact that women can be rapists sounds believable to me, too. On the other hand, the alleged documentary has porn-like reenactments of sexual abuse between women with would-be porn actresses paid to stage lesbian rape scenes for the shock, amazement and perhaps pleasure of the viewers. Why do I call this a "brilliant horrible joke"? I call it "brilliant" because the filmmakers have achieved what they sought for. This is a kind of Andy Kaufman's joke. (Have you watched the movie about this comedian starring Jim Carrey? If you haven't, go watch "Man on the Moon" and you'll see what I mean!) Andy Kaufman was a comedian who relished in pulling practical jokes on everybody: family, friends, girlfriends, you name it. The kind of practical joke Andy liked to pull was to act as though he was serious about something outrageous and horrible when in fact that was all an inside joke. When his family was told he had cancer and he was dying nobody believed him, because they thought he was pulling another practical joke. I view this documentary as a big practical joke. I am sure this was a concept of one person or a group of friends, who decided: "Hey, let's make a seemingly serious documentary about something as outrageous as lesbian rape, something on the edge of believability, and then for the hell of it we will insert staged porn scenes about the same theme. Let's see how many people we will be able to fool and outrage. Let's see if someone will see for what this really is: a big practical joke, which is going to make us rich." And guess what, the filmmakers did just that, as at the moment this practical joke is a huge success in sales. What was supposed to be just a practical joke, became so much more. It became a brilliant marketing strategy to sell a porn DVD to people who wouldn't watch porn. Even better, with the buzz that this (probably unintended) marketing strategy created, they turned a run-of-the-mill rape fantasy porn DVD into something that is making them extremely rich while the filmmakers laugh their way to the bank.
