The film premiered at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival.[2]
Norman Wilner of Now gave the film a three-N rating, writing that "The Last Porno Show never really unifies its blend of tender drama, transgressive imagery and scabrous outsider comedy – Frank D'Angelo appears as Wayne’s Method acting coach, and he’s not bad! – but Paputts does find something meaningful in Wayne’s quest to overcome his traumatic childhood, folding a poignant sense of longing into all the dick shots."[1]
The score was composed by Devon Goldberg and performed by Morricone Youth.
