What the critics are saying about Orgasm Inc.

"Liz Canner ended up making a shocking but hilarious film, Orgasm Inc, which is causing a storm in America as it sets out to expose the drug companies and doctors who are now locked in a race to produce a 'female Viagra' - a treatment that promises women a super-charged sex life in a pill."
-London Daily Mail

"[Orgasm Inc.] is a desperately needed antidote to all the hype generated by pharmaceutical companies pursuing their holy grail: a female Viagra."
-Newsweek

"A sexy feature-length indictment of big pharma that gives a lot of great laughs."
-The Toronto Star

"An extraordinary, revelatory documentary about female desire and the pharmaceutical industry"
-London Times
