Eventually, one concludes that Inside Lara Roxx is no exercise in prurience bur rather a bearing witness. A former stripper herself, Donovan works hard and with considerable thoroughness to contextualize Roxx’s situation, to try to make us sympathize with her frequently infuriating subject without getting bathetic.
