Money Shot: The Pornhub Story (2023)

Quartile rating: 2.5/10

Featuring interviews with performers, activists and past employees, this documentary offers a deep dive into the successes and scandals of Pornhub.

The Quartile Take

A competent but somewhat surface-level documentary that benefits from timely subject matter — the Pornhub controversies around non-consensual content and the Mastercard/Visa payment processor exodus. The talking-head interview format is bog-standard documentary filmmaking with unremarkable cinematography. Novelty gets a modest bump for tackling a genuinely taboo corporate scandal that few mainstream outlets had explored in long form. The ending feels inconclusive, mirroring the unresolved real-world situation but leaving viewers without satisfying closure. Acting is not applicable in the traditional sense, but interview subjects vary in effectiveness and charisma.
