I enjoyed this movie, especially the two versions of the story. Im glad she got her life together after all the turmoil. Im not sure why she was such an icon though, according to the movie she only made the one move.
For anyone who was around then, Was she the one who invented that that move? or the first one who ever did it? they seem to imply that in the movie

The movie didn't work for me--I think between this and Howl that the directors should stick to documentaries like their The Celluloid Closet and not biopics.
In theory the format seems interesting, but as Whizzer said, the last half is such a downer (with a phony tacked on sorta "happy ending.") And yet, why even delve into that if they decide to ignore the way she did turn against porn--and then turned against the anti-porn people Lovelace was heralded by. *That* would have made a better film. Skarsgard is so campy that his performance is kinda fun to watch, and Seyfried is fine (as is Stone) but... I also found it hard to take the huge extremes between both versions of the filming--it takes a lot of faith in the audience to move from cuddly, loveable pornographers to rapists.
