Lust Cinema Review

Think of a Friday night, a laptop balanced on the duvet and the luxury of not having to pick something new every ten minutes. That's Lust Cinema, Erika Lust's answer to a streaming service, and it truly feels like one. Instead of short scenes you get feature-length movies and whole series with plots, made by Erika and directors she trusts.

The Lust Cinema Originals are the heart of it. They're relatable stories with realistic sex that belongs to the story, and I found myself caring about the characters in a way I didn't expect.

Around them there's a growing catalogue from other studios, sorted into categories, plus video interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, so you can see how a film was made and who made it. Performers like Kira Noir, Dante Colle, Lucy Huxley and Jane Jones turn up again and again, which makes it feel a little like a theatre company you slowly get to know.

There's also a Live TV channel for the nights when you'd rather not choose at all. If you liked XConfessions but want something longer, start here. Then quietly cancel your weekend plans.
