Telling the true story of sex, submission, and sexual exploration, kink showcases a world unlike anything you have ever seen. Diving head first into a practice that often confuses those who don't partake, the film rarely ventures off course, opening the eyes of the uneducated and presenting them with a fluid working knowledge of the world of BDSM.
Standing for bondage and discipline/dominance and submission/sadism and masochism, BDSM is highly misunderstood when it comes to the outside world. Yet kink.com, the world's largest producer of pornography with BDSM themes, is one of the most successful adult websites on the planet. Voros' kink focuses on the site's development, venturing behind the scenes with the Kink creative team and models for a no holds bar look at the painful side of sexual stimulation.
Leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination, Voros penetrates the close-knit group of outsiders, digging into everything from the casting to the logistics of each video. Filled to the brim with truly unique characters that offer up as much humor as they do sexual intensity, the film is a strong reach out to those who don't fully understand the actions taken by the site's stars. And as they provide insight into their wondrous world of sexual graphic fantasy, you can't help but build an understanding of the reason why each chooses to partake in the practice.
Well shot and edited, kink is an honest and authentic portrayal that scores high marks for its tremendous interviews and characters. I will be honest and admit to my discomfort with many of the segments showcased within the film, but it is hard to truly grasp the meaning and effect behind such a practice without offering up an unfiltered account, spoken by those who live and breath it every day. There will be some controversy, centered both on the practices and the unedited clips showcased within the film, but there is no way to hide the pure educational value of a film such as kink.
