"Paul Schraderin kengännauhabudjetin kickstarter-kokeilu on aika sietämätöntä katseltavaa. Viinanpöhöinen ja raspikurkkuinen Lindsay Lohan, pornotähti James Deen sekä muutama nimetön, näyttelijäkyvytön pornonukke leikkivät sänkyhippaa kuvauspaikkoina toimineissa kuvausryhmän tuttavien hulppeissa asunnoissa Hollywoodin kukkuloilla. Kaikki on hyvin, hyvin kökköä ja kokonaisuus muistuttaakin lähinnä soft core -elokuvaa, jossa läähpuuhäksiöniä on vain 90 prosenttia vähemmä"

It somehow makes perfect sense that the two lead roles are occupied by a porn star trying to go mainstream and a former child star turned tabloid burnout. Well, it makes sense in an intensely perverse way. Eventually The Canyons reveals itself as an awkward subpar softcore. There’s nudity galor” read more
"PREFERABLY SEE THE REAL CANYONS Movie was mainly boring and the relationship deceite dull to watch. Lindsay Lohan managed pretty well in her role, but adult actor James Deen's performance was more like hilarious than intimidating psychopath, what he tried to play. Could've taken few more acting class before shooting hes scenes. Also the quality of the movie and directing was pretty amateurlike. Same as writing and editing.

“PREFERABLY SEE THE REAL CANYONS
Movie was mainly boring and the relationship deceite dull to watch.
Lindsay Lohan managed pretty well in her role, but adult actor James Deen's performance was more like hilarious than intimidating psychopath, what he tried to play. Could've taken few more acting class before shooting hes scenes.
Also the quality of the movie and directing was pretty amateurlike. Same as writing and editing. Director was clearly tring to make this some kind of artistic film, but didn't succeed there.
