Naked Acts is a 1996 American drama film written and directed by Bridgett M. Davis.
A young actress who just landed a part in her first movie. However it requires her to preform a nude scene, which she does not want to do due to an insecurity stemming from her mother's career in Blaxploitation films.[ citation needed ]
The film had trouble finding a distributor when it was first made, so director Bridgett M. Davis distributed it herself. It would later see a distribution via Milestone films and Kino Lorber. [1] The movie was released on Blu-ray Feb 18, 2025. [2]
Unpon the re-release Richard Brody of the New Yorker praised the movies themes, saying "it boldly embodies grand archetypes and underexplored legacies of Black cinema". [3] It was included in the 2001 book The 50 Most Influential Black Films [4] by S. Torriano Berry.
