PRAISE FOR PORTRAIT OF A CALL GIRL:
A riveting tour de force of adult cinema, Portrait of a Call Girl, directed by Elegant Angel’s not-so-secret weapon, Graham Travis, is adult moviemaking at the highest echelon. Beautifully shot, expertly acted and sexually scintillating, the movie serves as the perfect vehicle for Jessie Andrews to showcase her considerable talents. Andrews gives a bravura performance in the best adult film this reviewer’s seen all year.
The consistency in tone of POACG is remarkable. Tightly edited, the movie doesn’t follow an all too common feature’s paint-by-numbers approach—the stopping and starting of hasty dialogue that has little depth and achieves no real purpose but to lead to the sex scene. Here, the story unfolds naturally with impeccable pace and timing; there’s no corny lead-in lines that prompt the sex to commence. The dialogue isn’t glossed over as a means to get to the fucking—it plays an integral role in character development—something rarely heard of, nor achieved in the porn world. When was the last time you could say you saw a character develop and grow in a porn movie?
While we expect many more great performances from Andrews as one of the industry’s newest bright, shining stars, if this remains her finest hour, it’s one for the ages. - AVN
"...the double disc set includes a wealth of extras but more than that, a superior movie in the process. Starring hotty Jessie Andrews, the movie is a look at a high priced call girl on the road to self discovery, but unlike most of what is on the market, the movie offers some sizzling hot sex scenes full of raw energy and relevance to the role; a far cry from the tacked on sex you will typically see in competitors. The initial buzz about the movie has been it is like the mainstream Steven Soderbergh cross over flick “The Girlfriend Experience” but in truth, this is so much better on so many levels (remember that the premise of the mainstream art film was about an emotionally devoid hooker while this allows Jessie to express a full range of emotions) and other than focusing on someone that sells sex for money, they are nothing alike. Portrait of a Call Girl by director Graham Travis for Elegant Angel was the rarity that combined sex and story in a meaningful way; offering feature fans a lot to appreciate while raincoaters will still delight in the strength of the sex scenes. The sex was not the polished up, glossed over, contract girl couples flick sex either... Jessie Andrews proved what so many of the Xcritic staff have said about her sexual prowess too, enhancing that with an ability to actually act rather than imitate... It might be wrong to say that this is the latest in a very long line of “star maker” roles even though Elegant has fulfilled that role exceptionally well in recent years but I suspect that Jessie will now have expanded her options into a mainstream career if she chooses. In terms of the rating, the strokability, replay value, extras, and overall quality of Portrait of a Call Girl earned an Xcritic Pick for going well above the pack in many ways. In a time when the parody genre seems to get the most attention, Travis and Elegant show the rest of the industry that quality fuck flicks can be made without pandering and I for one appreciate it.” - Don Houston - Xcritic.com
“You know that elusive "mainstream movie that happens to have sex in it" Holy Grail of porn companies? "Portrait of A Call Girl" gets it. Jessie Andrews is wonderful in a movie that Elegant Angel should be proud of... Thoughtfully acted, beautifully shot, and sparsely, elegantly orchestrated, "Portrait of A Call Girl" is my favorite porn movie in a long time. Unlike 98 percent of porn out there, it is worth owning and keeping.” - Gram Ponante - Fleshbot.com

Once in a blue moon a brilliant idea is conceived, then that idea is brought to life by execution. POACG is that vision transformed into a masterpiece by Elegant Angel. POACG is an ideal representation of the quality that Elegant Angel demands and was rightfully rewarded by AVN.
Jessie Andrews is the portrait of elegance & the epitome of sexuality in this feature. I seldom use the word perfect because I reserve it for an occasion this this, Jessie was perfect as the character Elle.
I look forward to enjoying more unique projects like this by Elegant Angel. This project not only makes Elegant Angel look good but also the entire industry. Kudos.
