'Ms. Grey, whose career in pornography has been distinguished both by the extremity of what she is willing to do and an unusual degree of intellectual seriousness about doing it....'" That is A. O. Scott in today's Times, writing on The Girlfriend Experience. We think we know?

Basically, having seen less of her porn than apparently Scott has (as I have seen exactly none of it), that means "She only does hardcore slut porn in knee socks but sometimes she wears glasses and Twitters whilst getting double-teamed."

As for the rest of the review-can't parse it!
