Pleasure (2021) **
A disappointingly conventional portrait of the American adult film industry, as seen through the eyes of a naive Swedish newcomer. Except for nudity, the film is so tame and predictable in every respect that it makes even Coleen Moore's gentle 1926 comedy "Ella Cinders" look daring and transgressive by comparison.
Locked Down (2021) **
A "comedy of remarriage" set during the Covid lockdown and a heist movie. The first half is quite good, but it literally goes off the rails at the end.
