Cristina B The beautiful actresses did an impeccable job with a rather mopey, maudlin and monotonous plot and rather over-the-top violence. I didn't hate the storyline, which vaguely follows the psychological and sexual evolution of a character called The Laughing One/Jewess, and I praise the bold premise of exploring prostitues' sexuality and inner world, but I agree with other reviewers said: The soundtrack was cringe in places and the character development was spread thin among too many characters and weak. I love some of the themes here but I found myself wishing I could "unsee" certain scenes. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/24 Full Review Meydiana R Meh Warning: Spoilers Interesting setting, boring story The setting was interesting, both location- and time-wise. However the story is incredibly disappointing. The plot drifts throughout and ultimately goes nowhere.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Tony S Superbly directed and beautiful picture but which leaves you ultimately indifferent. The theme of decadence of a traditional brothel should've been the main focus, not blurry afterthought, meandering in the background, instead we get monotone melodrama about day-to-day in world's oldest profession but then again, director might've known better, than to pretend he can say anything that hasn't been said about this soul-sucking and hedonistic racket. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/28/21 Full Review Audience Member After an unsettling start, it turns into a rather fascinating (albeit melodramatic) film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Visually aesthetic and pleasing film that shows how we can understand humanity and camaraderie from anywhere. The stories of the girls is not one of pity but of struggle and living and surviving in a world that treats women as objects. The film shows that a discussion is needed when it comes to prostitution as it shows at the end of the with the way prostitution is today in its current climate. Maybe the film shows more of being an advocate of brothels with is gaiety and life and safety, though there is a risk of attack as is shown. Though the film explores the nihilism of prostitution and the girls wanting to get out for a better life, its the colours of the photography that bring it to life with its authentic looking shots and decor. A very good film Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
