MovielineStephanie ZacharekMar 9, 2011
The picture is rambunctiously affectionate; Guiterrez may go for the broad joke, but never the cheap one. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenMar 10, 2011
Elektra Luxx has a playful, breezy sexiness that gives the world of the film, porn biz and all, a refreshing innocence. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovMar 24, 2011
It is an utterly unique and highly ambitious project that isn't afraid to veer wildly from witty, risqué comedy to heavy emotional melodrama, often in the same sequence. Read full review

VarietyRonnie ScheibMar 14, 2011
Despite the fine thesping seen in this innocuous piece of fluff, the whole amounts to less than the sum of its parts. Read full review

The A.V. ClubScott TobiasMar 10, 2011
As with "Women In Trouble," Gutierrez unveils a series of loosely connected characters and subplots that concern players in and around the porn industry, but the intended colorful irreverence looks a lot like standard indie quirk. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierMar 11, 2011
Gugino is having a ball, but every scene feels like an oh-so-arch one-act. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen HoldenMar 10, 2011
Elektra Luxx has some scattered witty notions, but it is not funny. Read full review

Time OutEric HynesMar 8, 2011
It's another episodic, shaggy-dog parade of L.A. denizens caught in moderately compromised positions. Read full review

New York PostKyle SmithMar 11, 2011
The movie, a sequel to 2009's much more sprightly and amusing indie "Women in Trouble," seems to be reaching for Robert Altman territory. Instead of offering many intriguing stories, though, it can't come up with even one. Read full review
