Channel 4's Bonnie Blue Documentary Reviews See Critics All Saying The Same Thing

Adult content creator Bonnie Blue pictured during an interview on This Morning last yearOn Tuesday night, Channel 4 aired its original documentary about one of the most polarising figures online today, Bonnie Blue.The adult content creator was previously one of the most-followed porn performers on OnlyFans, notably staging an event where she had sex with 1,000 men in the space of a day as part of her work.However, Bonnie – whose legal name is Tia Billinger – was eventually banned from the platform after announcing plans for another stunt which were deemed to be a breach of OnlyFans’ guidelines.As the title suggests, 1,000 Men And Me: The Bonnie Blue Story followed the lead-up to and aftermath of Bonnie’s most infamous stunt, as well as examining her impact online.This last point seems to be an issue for critics, though, with many reviews criticising the doc for not being in-depth enough when it comes to its subject or her motivations.Here’s a selection of what’s being said about Channel 4’s documentary on the porn performer…The Guardian (3/5)“Although [director Victoria Silver’s] six months in Billinger’s company doesn’t provide much in the way of decisive evidence or insight, it does show the star to be as steely in her approach to her career as she is Stakhanovite in her labours [...] But, Silver remains essentially unconfrontational in her approach, and no match for one as robust and unfazed by other people’s opinions as Billinger.”The Independent (2/5) “Sad, uncomfortable and prurient viewing [...] With little new information gleaned and far too much time taken up by TikTok and Instagram clips of Blue’s that already exist online, the documentary feels like little more than a prurient exercise to capitalise on one woman’s infamy. Although, maybe it’s simply impossible to ever truly know who Blue is.”The Times“One of the most banal things I’ve ever seen. Gang bangs are very, very dull, it turns out.”The Mirror“The new Bonnie Blue documentary may be the worst thing I’ve ever seen on Channel 4 [...] Bonnie is allowed to say the same things over and over and many questions are left unanswered. As a viewer I still had lots of questions and that is why I feel it is such a weak documentary.”The Telegraph“It is an uncritical film, with director Victoria Silver occasionally asking the gentlest of questions – ‘In terms of feminism, are you not maybe sending us backwards?’ – but failing to challenge the answers, as if she is slightly in awe of her subject. The sex scenes are shown briefly, but are edited to look almost glamorous.”The Standard (2/5) “Profoundly sad viewing [...] who is Bonnie Blue? Is she the provocative adult content creator cheerfully banging her way through man after man in one of her infamous stunts? Or is she Tia Billinger, the girl from Derby who likes doing jigsaws at home? She doesn’t seem to know – and by the end of 1,000 Men and Me, the new Channel 4 documentary about her own life, neither do we.”City AM“Fleeting shots of the hanky-panky are frankly a welcome break from Blue’s sexism and wilful ignorance about the dangerous messages she is sending about the roles of men and women in society. In general the doc is too sympathetic to a dangerous character; it might have been better to have commissioned a multi-voice piece focusing on a broader picture of the sex industry or for director Victoria Silver to have appeared more in the piece to share her own views to provide more balance.”iNews“The documentary sets out to answer the question of whether Blue is a ‘dangerous predator’, pandering to male fantasies and perpetuating the patriarchy, or an empowered, sex positive businesswoman having the last laugh. In the end, it’s inconclusive. But perhaps that’s because she’s both.”1,000 Men And Me: The Bonnie Blue Story is available to stream on Channel 4 now.READ MORE:Channel 4 Defends Inclusion Of 'Explicit' Scenes In New Bonnie Blue Documentary
