PulpMovies Reviews Cookies & Cream



We got a very well written, detailed review of Cookies & Cream from Paul Pritchard of Pulpmovies.com. Here is some of it below:



"Carmen (Jace Nicole) is a pretty unexceptional person. She’s a single mother trying to support her daughter and herself and make her way through life in New York. Her ambitions are modest and revolve around a desire for stability and a loving relationship similar to that enjoyed by her room-mate, Jodie (Naama Kates). In fact, the only thing about Carmen that is particularly notable is her job.

Carmen works in the adult entertainment industry. Specifically, she is an actress in porn films and – for want of a better word – a web-cam celebrity.

Cookies & Cream establishes very quickly what Carmen does for a living and the sort of films she appears in. The film establishes this, though, in a remarkably unexploitative way that makes it quite clear that the nuts and bolts of Carmen’s profession are not going to be particularly focussed on. Writer/director Princeton Holt is clearly much more interested in the character of Carmen herself, her decisions and how these affect the direction she is taking through life.
The film, therefore, is very much a slice-of-life drama that follows Carmen as she ends one relationship and embarks on a new one with a man who, she hopes, will eventually love her for who she is, and not for what she does for a living."
