"Vanessa de Largie's wonderful fierce and tender sexuality reminds me of Anais Nin's: she's a woman who doesn't deny her body and her desires but follows them unafraid and rejoicing. These days this sincerity makes her a truly refreshing voice - and a happy one to find."
~ Kate Holden, Author of 'In My Skin'
"Yes, yes, YES! Ohmigod Yes! No sadly I'm not in the middle of a When Harry Met Sally orgasm, but I am screaming in agreement at Vanessa de Largie's brilliant piece on how women want sex not romance."
~ Samantha X, The Daily Telegraph
"Many moral crusaders seem driven by hatred or hunger for power. Take actor and writer, Vanessa de Largie."
~ Andrew Bolt, Herald Sun
Vanessa is one of life's natural polymaths: she acts, she dances, she writes and a lot more... And she does it all with great panache and a finely tuned instinct for the viscera, the inner turmoil, the bodily pleasures - and horrors. As a publisher, it was her writing that caught my eye: sheer, gutsy unadorned prose that dives on her subject like a morsel in the eye of a bird of prey..."
~ Paul Ham, Australian Historian
"One of the reasons Vanessa de Largie is one of the best sex writers around is because she can always make us consider the many different sides to a situation. As Vanessa notes, slut shaming is so ingrained in our society, people may not even know they are propagating these hurtful ideas."
~ Jon Pressick, Canadian Sexpert, Kinkly
"Vanessa is as bold and brave and accomplished in her writing as she is in her acting. She puts up no veils between herself and the reader. Truth is her religion, and insight and sensitivity the tools of her craftsmanship. I have always found that if you write something with truth at the heart of it, people will respond. In a world where movies and books are full of phony emotions based on things not experienced by the writer but instead taught to them in some class on how to make a fast buck in an equally phony industry, Vanessa is a beacon of light. She is, simply, the real deal."
~ Frank Howson, Film Director of Flynn, starring Guy Pearce. Writer of Dream Lover - The Bobby Darin Musical, starring David Campbell & Marina Prior
"Vanessa de Largie is a writer with the courage to explore subject matter other writers would choose to defer, deny or dilute. She articulates truths so close to the bone, you feel like you're in the room with her (sometimes when you'd rather not be). Her work jumps off the page, grabs you by the scruff of the neck and drags you along at breakneck speed, leaving you thrilled, exhausted, exhilarated. You'll need to talk about it."
~ Paul Kooperman, Entrepreneur, Former CEO of Australian Poetry, Former National Manager of Arts Hub, Former Screenwriter for Home & Away
"Looming large and over this year's just completed Sexy International Film Festival - despite it's myriad of other attractions was the preternatural presence of the talented and versatile local actor - Vanessa de Largie. De Largie first came to Cultural Cringe's notice in local auteur Bill Mousoulis's 2007 vampire film, Nocturne, Night of The Vampire - where her natural ability, unearthly beauty and her sheer presence, like that of an old-time Hollywood star, complimented gorgeously Mousoulis's directing style."
~ Tony Mc Mahon, Journalist, Inpress Magazine
"I first met Vanessa at a film festival in Brussels in April 2008, which was a delight. I have come to know Vanessa as an incredibly versatile, ambitious and highly committed multi-talent, who knows what she wants and genuinely cares about people."
~ Ton van Rooij, Dutch Film Journalist
"De Largie is most definitely the most striking thing about the film, and while it never really goes much of anywhere, she proves she can carry a somber horror film on her shoulders."
