I agree to a certain extent with those who dubbed “Boogie Nights” as “Goodfellas” with the Golden Age of Porn instead of the mob. Yet, the tone and message are completely different. It might not be as evident on a first viewing, but “Boogie Nights” is, above anything else, a warm and tender movie about broken people seeking a family. The time capsule effect is fascinating at first but grows thin in a little over an hour. Even though I have to say it’s not nearly as slow-paced as I remembered, things indeed get a little too repetitive and a tad boring in the middle chunk. In contrast, the resolution felt a little rushed and, for some characters, only sketched out.
