Reviews

The Paris strip club À mon seul désir (My Sole Desire) is home to a mesmerizing troupe of seductive female performers. Like a moth to a flame, newcomer Manon (Louise Chevillotte) is drawn to their sensual allure and adopts the stage name Aurore. Among her fellow dancers is audience favorite Mia (César Award winner Zita Hanrot), a beautiful, aspiring actress who moonlights at the club unbeknownst to her live-in boyfriend. From identifying which clients she should avoid to booking private dances, Mia serves as a trusted guide on Manon's erotic journey. But even as Manon begins to experiment with riskier propositions that Mia will not pursue, it is not long before the two begin to develop romantic feelings for one another. Navigating the complexities of this new life, Manon must face questions about her sexuality as the line between professional and personal desire starts to blur.

My Sole Desire is subtle, real, and heartbreaking in all the best ways. In for a penny, in for a pound.

Movie Nation

The sex isn’t all that sexy, explicit as it is. The lurid allure of this French strip club world is somewhat neutered and the story drifts around the idea of having a point, and then abandons that for a finale that has no ideas at all.

Rated: 1.5/4

Incredible. What a watch! Couldn't take my eyes of it. Beautifully paced, the two leads have incredible chemistry. There was so much to love and explore in this gem of a film. I watched it on MUBI and would definitely recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
