Quotes

“Courtney Trouble is one of those directors that could slap her name on paint drying, and I would totally spend hours watching because if it says TROUBLE, I just know it will be amazing.” – Hot Movies

“Trouble’s films are without a doubt explicit, but they’re also intimate, sincere, iconoclastic and, above all, genuinely queer.” – Curve Magazine

“Courtney Trouble is an important voice on the scene of queer and lesbian porn. For fans of Roulette, Nostalgia and Seven Minutes in Heaven, Lesbian Curves lives up to Courtney Trouble’s reputation as a maverick pornographer who dishes up clit-tingling sex.” – Fatale Media

“Her award-winning work embraces all desires, all bodies, and a sex-positive ethos” – Time Out Melbourne

“I’m as bewitched by her sorta rockabilly look, curvy body, and gorgeous eyes as I am by her towering reputation as a creator of filthy indie pr0n.” – Thomas Roche

“fabulously fierce femme queer pornographer” – J.D. Bauchery, Hot Movies For Her

“If the future is like this, the future can’t come soon enough.” -Lux Alptraum, Fleshbot

“She’s the final word when it comes to smut with attitude, character, and soul. Not only is No Fauxxx the oldest running queer porn site on the Internet, it’s also the only spot that mixes alt, gay, lesbian, straight, trans, kink, and BBW content. It’s sexy, artsy, entertaining, all-inclusive, and totally DIY.” -SF Bay Guardian
