a bullet point review for those who want to know more than the trailer shows.
positive points:
model
1. Abby is gorgeous. truly gorgeous. mother nature gave her that free, so she is extraordinarily lucky in that respect. but she also knows how to maximise her beauty, simple, classy and elegant styling, no wacky ugly troubled-teenager haircuts, or clownish makeup choices.
Abby's presentation is an obvious huge positive, so no need to write an essay about it here. but as a new performer it means Abby starts from a position of strength re 'first impressions' and remains infinitely watchable (it's hard to take your eyes of her, even when she's just casually standing by as the studs position themselves)
performance
2. Abby is a very accomplished DP performer for a new model (her second scene), and more than simply 'do' the act she seems to revel in it, riding up to her partners, pushing herself onto them, matching their rhythyms, and usually glowing with excitiment and satisfaction. yes this is porn and Abby is acting, but within the scene fantasy she has her porn persona as a 'cute and dirty girl' perfected. in addition, when Abby finds something difficult, she doesn't mask that but shows it, which makes for a rounded viewing experience.
so already, she can 'perform' DP proficiently at both levels, as a physical act (acts, positions, timing) and as a performative act (presenting the act as she experiences it to an audience).
i don't think you can't ask more of a 'first DP'. it more lives up to its brief
technical
3. it's a well directed and produced scene (as fans have come to expect from Natasha and Lancelot's studio).
a good mix of close/mid/long shots to present the action from multiple perspectives; the lighting is bright and consitent (no gloomy underlit areas, no matter which position the performers adopt); the editing is generally clean and purposeful, no moments seem to go on too long or feel cut short (there are a couple of abrupt edits after withdrawals, which could be for obvious reasons).
and the intensity ramps up nicely. harder would be nicer (obviously and always), but it's only scene two and Abby is still accomodating herself to the acts.
it's worth adding that Abby seems to love and understand performing to camera (perhaps a former camgirl), keeping herself positioned to suit it, and her face always visible to it (a skill which probably simplifies direction and editing greatly)
negative points (things that could be changed for the better, and 'room for improvement'):
model
1. Abby making cartoon character faces (the cross-eyed thing and comically exaggerated facial expressions). maybe this works in short and sweet camgirls scenes (and manga comic books) - but over the course of a full-length scene i find it a distraction (to me, others may buy the scene just for this aspect, so this is only me stating my personal preference).
it may simply be a nerves thing (Abby changing gears from being private to public, and using funny faces to mask that transition, rather than reveal awkwardness or embarrassment).
fortunately over the course of the scene Abby (more or less) stops doing it (possibly because keeping it up for 45 minutes is boring and tiring for Abby too)
Abby is an extraordinarily beautiful woman, her natural face in all its natural expressions is more than enough for any audience. therefore she has no need to gild the lily or reduce herself to a caricature in order to please
performance
2. the was very little oral element in this scene, which i miss. obviously the point of a 'first DP' is to focus in on how the model handles DP in different positions and at different intensities. on those terms the scene is a triumph (and the sidelining of the oral element is to be expected). so maybe for next time (if Abby is up for it)
technical
3. the camera focus is sometimes slow-to-react (possibly slow-to-react autofocus). Natasha or Lancelot (i think Lancelot edits) should have noticed this during the edit, so hopefully it is in the proces of being addressed
something for a future scene?:
purely a personal preference, but i would love to see Abby work harder physically in a future scene. the level of physical intensity in this scene is fine for scene two, but i'd love to see Abby really pushing herself (and being pushed) to the point of exhaustion over the course of a shoot, to be left glistening with sweat, short of breath and red faced (as if after a hard workout, which intense sex can often be).
Abby has such a flawless porcelain complexion and an ivory pale body, that to end the scene with her exhausted, sweat-shiny and rosy-cheeked would present a perfect before-and-after image to sum up the xxx exertions of the preceeding hour
and that will do
i never write full-length reviews like this, partly because i'm lazy and mostly because i don't usually have the time. but since i'm off-work today due to sickness (and hoping it's just flu and not covid - i feel like shit, thanks for asking) i thought i would say something about one of my favourite scenes of the year so far, to encourage those who have not yet indulged, to consider it
Abby is absolutely irresistible. yield to her charms!
