Alive

Victoria (Victoria Voxxx) is a young country musician and writer who dreams of making the big time; all she needs is a chance. When a waitressing gig in a small town comes her way, she jumps on the opportunity in the hope that she can get some exposure by playing her music on the weekends. The bar's owner, Rob Donahue (Chad Alva), is a guarded man who doesn't seem to have much faith in Victoria's chances to catch her dreams, but at least he'll let her play. Is this small-town dive bar the stepping stone Victoria needs to launch her career, or is it the last stop on a road filled with delusions of grandeur?

Ricky Greenwood is one of my favorite directors in the business today. He's a true storyteller who remembers that sex has much more impact when tied to a compelling story. With "Alive," he perfectly captures the essence of the struggling musician who is driven by their passion for the craft. Victoria Voxxx and Sophia Locke deliver the best performances of their careers, and the sex across the board is outstanding.

As Victoria settles down into her small hotel room and gets acquainted with her new boss Rob, she finds herself free to write and practice her music for the first time. The thin walls don't offer much privacy, and on her first night, she overhears newly married couple Valentina Nappi and Isiah Maxwell celebrating their nuptials next door. Valentina is incredibly sexy, what with all her delicious curves and insatiable appetite. Maxwell handles her gently but enthusiastically, taking her in multiple positions on the small bed.

Victoria learns about Rob's past from his ex-girlfriend Mary (Sophia Locke), including the abrupt end to his country music career. The eye-opening conversation leads to an extremely well-shot jam session between Victoria and Mary's friend Tara (Queenie Sateen) that lasts all day. The three ladies bond over their love of music, leading to a tender threesome. Queenie, who is often very aggressive when she has sex, is actually quite soft, while Sophia is the perfect steadying force that guides all the action.

Later, as Victoria practices and reflects on her newfound outlook on life, she is unable to resist the urge to touch herself. Watching Victoria sit, legs slightly spread on a picturesque windowsill and touching herself as she gazes out on the small town, is surreal. Her masturbation is a physical representation of her internal desire to achieve happiness through her music.

After a big windfall falls through, Rob is forced to put on a music show to save the bar. He gets in touch with one of his old bandmates (Charles Dera) to help him out, setting the stage for the film's climax. And speaking of Dera, he is living the golden life of a music star. He's got a wallet full of cash and a trailer full of groupies. Nicole Doshi, August Skye, and Kendra Sunderland service him hungrily as he grins maniacally.

Victoria's ex-boyfriend (Cliff Jensen), along with all her old friends (Ariel Demure, Dante Colle, Roman Todd), come to the show to see her play, stirring up lots of old feelings. Realizing she's got some unfinished business to get out of her system, Victoria takes them back to her hotel room for one last orgy for old time's sake. Demure and Voxxx get their holes filled from all sides while keeping their hungry mouths filled with cock the entire time.

As Victoria embraces her new life, Rob admits he wants to be part of it. The two finally get together in a hot and passionate coupling that sees Victoria truly let go and accept her desires, both professional and personal.

Victoria nails every aspect of this story and captivates the screen from the minutes she appears on it. Sophia should also be recognized, and more directors should follow Greenwood's example of feature porn. This is the stuff dreams are made of.
