It was one of the hottest films at TIFF and we think DON JON, directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is provocative, sexy and smart.
Raised in New Jersey, Jon (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a dude who keeps things simple. He likes his car, he lifts weights at the gym, he hits the club on Saturday night and attends Church on Sunday. He also loves his porn but his new girlfriend (Scarlett Johansson) has zero tolerance for his indulgent online habit. Sounds funny, and while there are many hilarious moments, this is more than an entertaining rom-com, it’s complicated and poignant.
Leaving the theatre, we were left with lots of questions and wanted to dive into a conversation about how porn plays a role in our own relationships and sex lives. Take our totally anonymous Don Jon porn quiz! We are going to tabulate the responses this Thursday to see if any conclusions can be drawn on how porn affects all of us.
Don Jon opens in theatres across Canada this weekend.
