The Village Voice christened Afrodite Superstar one of the Top 10 NY erotic films and it was also nominated for 7 AVN Awards. In two short years the film has been featured in numerous PhD papers as a one of a kind sexploration for women of color, and heralded in sex media reviews from Fleshbot to Spread Magazine.
