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
"Buzzworthy."
-Variety
"A sexy feature-length indictment of big pharma" that gives "a lot of great laughs."

"Orgasm Inc. is a terrific new documentary that delves into designer vaginas and other true life tales of the commodification of women’s pleasure centers. "

"Orgasm Inc. hits female erogenous zones that pharmaceutical fixes can't find: your brain and your funny bone. "

"Maintaining a playful tone, Canner's film nevertheless serves as an indictment of greed at the expense of women who have too long been kept in the dark about their own bodies and sexuality."
