Alicia I love this movie so much

Cortechba Overrated

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Rainey Dawn The dangers of prostitution as Kelly teaches us "You will end up hating all men. You'll become a social problem, a medical problem and a mental problem. And a despicable excuse for woman." Kelly is an ex-prostitute who decides to live a straight life and gets a job in a hospital working with sick kids - but there is more to it than she bargains for.The good scene is the opening - after that it's a boring story of Kelly who meets a police man that tries to get her to work for Candy (the owner of a prostitution house). The story picks back up towards the end when Kelly gets weird boyfriend whom she ends up killing with a telephone receiver when she finds out he's a sick-o pervert with children. Her police friend is on the case but doesn't believe her story - the odds are stacked against her as her old pimp is called in to talk to the police about her character - he lies the police believe the pimp in the beginning. Even a nurse steps in and taints Kelly's character. Can Kelly get out of this? 3/10

chenxiaomao At the beginning quite imposing manner, the subjective lens and the movement lens manifests the vanguard style. The end of movie parts of the ridiculous. For example: Use of a light, the light direction too obvious, in the characters face always cast under a thick shadow, no matter how to look like a schemer or zombie. B is often then shot close-up makes it hard. More hateful is the director especially love close-up, almost every scene each at least to a. In addition to C medium and close-up lens language and chaotic ride, scene scheduling is very weak. Two people often appear in the same picture stood the dialogue scenes, characters still, is a medium in the end scene.

eroberts-93865 If no one had told me The Naked Kiss was a low-budget movie, I wouldn't have known. In addition to not appearing to be a low-budget movie, it also doesn't appear out of place in the context of today's movies.Both the editing and movement of the camera were skillful. The film utilized techniques like ellipses and eyeline-matching to tell the story of Kelly (Constance Towers) not just well, but in a stunning manner. Take, for instance, the opening scene: a (mostly) POV shot of Kelly in the middle of an outrage, followed by the credits posed over her, fixing her appearance, the camera acting as the "mirror." This is the kind of stylistic choice that consistently adds to the power that Towers brings to the table throughout the film.My largest complaints with the movie, however, are with Kelly's relationship to Griff (Anthony Eisley), a local police captain. Griff's character very clearly represents male expectations of and disdain for a non-virginal (and unapologetic) woman operating on her own whims, wants, and principles. However, he seems to be so arbitrarily hot-and-cold with Kelly, leading me to feel quite confused about his contradictory actions toward the end.Maybe it's the independence of low-budget filmmaking that allowed The Naked Kiss to tackle the controversial topics that it does. Though the topics it covers even get upsetting, the film is somehow absolutely a feel-good movie. The prostitute-turned-saint-and-savior story told by The Naked Kiss isn't only what it sounds like, and the ride along the way is enjoyable from beginning to end.The audience gets to see many different sides of Towers' character Kelly. Her "past" self, her desire to be "better," her kind actions and fantasies (one particularly sweet fantasy sequence during a story-telling session at the children's hospital comes to mind) and even what she is capable of. Towers' performance is excellent in all of these aspects.The story told by The Naked Kiss, in addition to the way it was told, is still incredibly relevant and important.

joedebritz This is a very innovative film. Because it is an independent film, the makers were able to have more freedom with the content. This film deals with the underbelly of society, including topics of prostitution and pedophilia. While some might find this disturbing, I find it refreshing, there is no use ignoring the parts of life that we care not to think about. This is a real film, with real characters, and a very real story. I enjoy it because of that. It also has a very unique feel to it, I wouldn't be surprised if contemporary directors like Quentin Tarentino and David Fincher pulled inspiration from it. It is important to have films like this one that break precedents that need to be broken.
