New Showbiz Analysis

Naughty! serves as a historical survey of changing attitudes towards sex and morality, spanning from Ancient Greece to the Victorian era and beyond. Its main strength lies in its willingness to dismantle social taboos and expose the hypocrisy in past moral frameworks. However, the film is confined to a Western perspective, missing opportunities to include global viewpoints on sexuality and human connections. While it engages with gendered power dynamics and sexual freedom, its observational documentary style might prioritize historical analysis over the personal experiences of diverse individuals.
