Disappointing, poorly made "portrait"
I'll be sampling several recent video offerings by Ivan, a pornographer with a documentary bias. This first stab, a lengthy collaboration with imposing and talented actress Alison Tyler, is a bummer.
That's because under the rubric of "realism" and "treating the subject in depth" Ivan merely demonstrates incompetence. Any number of fictional videos featuring Tyler are vastly superior to this wall-to-wall Tyler exercise - I know, having watched them as a fan. Ivan's drek is way too much information and precious little in the way of well- shot, arousing entertainment.
The bloated, nearly four hour running time includes lots of behind the scenes junk which should have stayed on the cutting room floor. Especially irritating is endless discussion and plenty of stills documenting Tyler's circa 2013/2014 going under the knife to have huge breast implants, when she looked perfectly fine before. Of course it meant a lot to her - that's why she did it, but this element of the XXX show is ultimately filler and likely a misguided attempt to give some of that old-fashioned "legitimacy" (we used to call it "socially redeeming value" back in the day) to the project.
Tyler does go through her explicit sexual paces in a variety of segments, nearly all of them badly photographed by Ivan. Plenty of solo masturbating, plus an emphasis on lesbian action in which talented performers like Missy Martinez and Capri Cavanni in a threesome, Skin Diamond as a horny masseuse and Nikita Von James a bit embarrassing (she can't improvise worth a damn) as a nurse basically earn a paycheck without giving the fans anything to chew on.
Derrick Pierce and Chad Alva handle boy/girl scenes with La Tyler and the whole mess adds up to one big zero. Proof of that fact is how beautiful Tyler looks with the proper makeup, costuming, lighting, etc. in her videos for studios like New Sensations/Digital Sin and Girlfriends Films, compared to the amateurish disservice we're treated to here.
