Staff Recommendation from Gabby Reeve: Orgasm Inc. (2009) opens as director Elizabeth Canner’s exploration of the pharmaceutical industry and their race to produce the first FDA approved lady Viagra. But it soon morphs into an expose of the corrupt machinations of drug companies and the relationship between society, women and sexuality. The narrative meanders a little but Canner’s use of history, insider access and skillful interview paint a compelling picture of female sexuality and the attempts to medicalize and commodify it. Empowering and important, even if the director can’t always find her focus.
