True Erotica

Scene 1: (Ava) Too many camera angle changes or poor visuals in general. Female performer does not play to the camera or isn't directed to. This may not be a "gonzo" film, but the viewer should be able to get a good overall head/face-to-action area view of the female performer. Lighting also leaned too much on the darker side. It would also have been nice if the male's presence was minimized visually. On the bright side, the cum shot was decent and some of the BJ at the beginning.

Scene 2: (Alexa) Overall bad lighting and angles. Some usable content at the beginning of scene from the BJ to some of the standing doggy.

Scene 3: (Dani Daniels) Another shadowy scene. There was about a minute in the side/spoon position on the floor that was somewhat usable. The theme of too many camera angle changes and lack of lighting and directing continues with this scene also.

Scene 4: (Alexis Texas) The same technical/cinematography/directing issues apply here also. A couple of loop-able moments are present though. One is when Alexis is in a doggy/"69" position facing the viewer and looking back towards the camera.

Conclusion: 3.5/5 stars for the good resolution, makeup, backdrops/settings, and some usable/loop-able moments.

Audio /Video Quality:
The technical aspects are simply fantastic. The audio is clear and well balanced, including the music which nicely accents things without ever intruding. The video is presented in anamorphic widescreen and looks great. It has a slightly artistic feeling that worked extremely well for me with tremendous care towards the lighting. The camera work is also smooth and the picture is nicely clear. This is a very well presented movie.

The Movie:
Although Holly Randall has been around the Wonderful World of Porn for years, True Erotica marks her directorial debut. Each scene starts out with a little tease to lead into the sex, and features the performers in classy and very eye appealing settings.

Scene 1
Raven tressed Ava starts things out in a sexy little black outfit showing off in front of a white tiled wall. She pours a bit of oil over herself and rubs it in as she strips down and continues to tease the camera. Ava makes her way into the next room where Ryan is waiting on a black couch and kisses her while finishing stripping her down. He lays Ava back to kiss his way around her body and makes his way down to eat and play with her pussy. Ryan gets up on his knees for Ava to suck his cock and then lets fucks her missionary style and from behind. Ava also rides him cowgirl style before they fuck missionary style, and comes up to take his seed in and around her mouth before showing it off to him and worshiping his cock until the camera fades out.

Scene 2
Spanish beauty Alexa starts her scene in a red cage wearing a gold mask with a black and white outfit before emerging to admire herself in a mirror. A well dressed Joel approaches her from behind and admires her body before kissing her with Alexa groping his cock through his pants as he checks her out. He drops down to eat her from behind with plenty of tongue for her bung and comes up to let Alexa help him out of his pants for a bit of stroking. Of course Alexa drops down to eat his meat as well with some nice throat action and eye contact mixed in. She stands up for Joel to bone her bald beaver from behind and then lays back for him to fuck her missionary style. They also get busy doggie style and in reverse cowgirl before Alexa takes Joel's joy juice over her nicely natural tits.

Scene 3
Brunette Dani starts the penultimate scene in a tuck smoking a cigar in front of a fireplace with a bottle of cognac nearby. She happily strips down as she continues to enjoy her smoke with Ramon watching from nearby dressed all in black. He moves in to kiss her and run his hands around her before stripping her down so his mouth can enjoy her as much as his hands. Dani eagerly attacks his cock orally in reciprocation before burying it inside her cunt cowgirl style. She takes a break and moves up to ride Ramon's face before sliding back down onto his cock and riding it in each of the cowgirls. Ramon also takes Dani from behind and mixes in a little oral action for her as he fucks her. They spoon on the floor, and as they fuck Ramon slowly moves around until he's on top fucking Dani missionary style. As he pops he pulls out to blast little more than a drop on Dani's bush before pushing his cock back inside her pussy for a cream pie finish, and then lays back on the floor to cuddle with her as the camera fades out.

Scene 4
Dirty blonde big butt beauty Alexis lays on a purple bed wearing a bit of sexy black lingerie and stockings along with a black and gold necklace. Brunette Jenna struts up with a tray filled with strawberries, whipped cream, and champagne before pouring her a glass of bubbly and letting Alexis feed her a strawberry. Jenna runs some whipped cream from a strawberry to Alexis' nipple and licks it off before sliding off one of her heels and sucking some from Alexis' stocking clad feet after she dips it into a glass. Jenna worships Alexis' ass and tongues her holes from behind before laying on the bed to let Alexis worship her ass in return with a little spanking mixed in. Of course Alexis eats her from behind as well and then rolls Jenna over to tongue her box all the more. The ladies share another strawberry with whipped cream as Alexis rubs it over Jenna's tits and licks them clean before Alexis rides Jenna's tongue. Alexis has her get on all fours so she can admires her from behind again and then slides under Jenna to eat her from below. Jenna brings out another strawberry and whipped cream for another titty taste and then lets Alexis trib her before they kiss and share a bit more bubbly.

True Erotica is a release that feels like it might be a bit hit or miss for some people due to its artistic style, but for me it was a big hit. There's a definite artistic style here, and it's on the classy side of things with high end costumes and locations and a definite focus on beauty. It's combined with a touch of low lighting and shadows, and while this can be hit or miss for me, here it worked together very well. Every visual here feels like it could have come from a high end magazine, but unlike so many other glam releases, there's still plenty of chemistry in each of the scenes. Ava started things out very nice with Ryan with a solidly romantic scene while Alexa added a touch of kink with her costume and the cage. I loved Dani's smoking to start out the third scene, and ending it with a cream pie after the great chemistry she and Ramon have made it all the better. Finally there's Alexis and Jenna who ended the movie on a high note for me. Their scene seemed a touch out of place for me, as it seemed like a perfect couples movie through the first three scenes, but it still worked well for me and I loved the light food play and foot worship mixed in with the standard lesbian action. True Erotica is a fantastic debut release for Holly Randall that's well worth the purchase if you like your porn a bit on the artistic side and with plenty of chemistry.

The Extras:
Bios are included for each of the ladies. There's also a behind the scenes featurette and trailers for two other AE Films releases..

The behind the scenes featurette lasts just under twelve minutes. After a little makeup time with Ava, Holly introduces Ryan and the scene. There's a little more time with Ava in the makeup chair chatting as well as time on the set with Holly working with the performers. There's a little time with Alex and Joel Tomas as they shoot their scene before moving on with Dani posing and enjoying her cigar. There's a little fun with Ramon and Dani chatting and enjoying a smoke after the scene. Jenna and Alexis pose for stills and have a little fun on the set with Holly before Holly gives a few last words about the shoot. This is a nice little behind the scenes featurette. I like that you get to see some of each scene, even if the footage is pretty limited for a couple of them. Dani and Ramon are definitely the high point here, but this is still a very nice overall little featurette that adds a bit to the overall release.

Final Thoughts:
If you like your smut on the artistic and sensual side, this one's well worth the purchase.

Note to AE Films:
This was one heck of a great debut release. I hope you have Holly Randall shoot more for you in the future!
