What does the press think?
According to Point (3.5 out of 5):
“If the Netflix series does not reach the tragic and pathetic dimension of “Boogie Nights”, it manages to maintain interest thanks to the uncertain fate of some endearing secondary characters.”
According to Leisure TV (3 out of 5):
“We would have liked the series to go further in time and explore his relationship, sketched here, with his wife, Rozsa Tassi, former Miss Hungary married in 1993.”
According to The Parisian (2.5 out of 5):
“We’re a little bored in this melodrama. The scenes of arguments, tears, reunions in Parisian cafes, follow one another and are similar.”
According to Widescreen (2 out of 5):
“A very conventional biopic about Rocco, which also wallows in the artifices it claims to deconstruct.”
According to The world (2 out of 5):
“The childish naivety that Alessandro Borghi attributes to the porn star further adds to the confusion of a project whose bizarreness is not enough to prove the necessity.”
According to Marianne (2 out of 5):
“Despite the announced controversy, the Italian series on the life of pornographic actor Rocco Siffredi is neither sulphurous, nor flirtatious, nor particularly sexy. She’s just boring.“
What do viewers think?
According to Virginie Letrange (5 out of 5):
“Very pleasantly surprised by this series. I don’t know how much truth there is about Rocco’s real life, but in any case it’s easy to see. The porn side is certainly present. Undoubtedly. But not omnipresent and makes this series tell something other than just a great career for the actor. In short, worth watching!“
According to Clara Bibi (5 out of 5):
“The series is very easy to watch, the story of Rocco’s life is rich. There are obviously a lot of racy scenes so not to watch with the family! I really enjoyed the episodes about his adolescence. Very good series with interesting stories and which makes this man human.”
According to Paul Pomme (3 out of 5):
“If this gentleman’s biography were really interesting this series would also be interesting because the casting, direction and editing are of good quality. But this mix between psychological film and erotic film is ultimately quite boring. Technically there is nothing to say, it is very well done and very well played. So let’s not be too harsh, especially given the very average quality of productions in general…“
According to NinaMyers (2.5 out of 5):
“4 episodes would have been enough to tell the life of the handsome Rocco, there it is always diluted with the same dialogues on love, sex, women, and it does not fly high. But it’s watchable because of a good interpretation. The whole thing is very feminist and the poverino Rocco is above all seen as a victim of his…device.“
