- 80The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisA fascinating profile of the online pornography provider Kink.com.
- 75Slant MagazineDrew HuntSlant MagazineDrew HuntMore than just a thorough examination of hardcore pornography, Christina Voros's doc is also a sort of chronicle of the filmmaking process.
- 75San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco ChronicleUltimately, Kink has an undeniably voyeuristic quality - it's a glimpse into a mostly forbidding world, and there's value in that.
- 70Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlVillage VoiceAlan ScherstuhlThe doc is often terrific fun. But it is a work of observation and advocacy rather than journalism.
- 70The DissolveNathan RabinThe DissolveNathan RabinKink sometimes feels like a promotional film not just for the website it empathetically chronicles, but also for the sex-positive ethos it embodies. But it’s also unexpectedly convincing, and at times even moving in its paradoxical conception of liberation through degradation, and empowerment through submission.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeKink is quite convincing in presenting this one workplace as a happy, sane environment where people respect each other and aren't manipulated into doing things they don't ultimately enjoy. But it leaves plenty of room to presume that Kink.com is an outlier in the industry.
- 50New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThere’s a surprising lack of provocation to this determinedly positive portrait. As a result, the movie often feels like a full-length ad for a great workplace, which just happens to stash whips and chains in the stationery closet.
