The Hollywood Reporter

Too self-consciously arty to appeal to the prurient crowd and lacking sufficient substance for cinephiles, Sex Doll seems to deflate while you watch it.

New York Times

The script peels away layers of possibility until it becomes clear that there is almost nothing underneath.

Village Voice

Sex Doll, flat though it may sometimes be, is shrewdly aware of the countless clichs surrounding sex work.

Film Journal International

Listless, highly predictable study of a call girl in trouble and her stalwart, if punk-like, hero.

In this type of movie, one that opens with intrigue, guising and maneuvering about London, this work portends upon the feminist crowd, however you'd never know it. 90 minutes into this drama, Virginie ‘her whore-name', depict a reality no one wants to explicitly acknowledge, unless it's their own daughter. As the 18-year old Sophia begins to shadow ‘Virginie' on her first night of whoring, we're surprised that Rupert (Ash Stymest), a London-based mercenary, out to save women ‘mostly minors' from the shadowy world of illusion that the rich and powerful exhibit, albeit discreetly. It is the Robinhood, Rudy, Rocky of prostitution. As Snoop Dog once coined, "It ain't no fun if my homies can't have none" states, this movie shows that crime doesn't pay. Many critics assume this movie is all glitz and glamour with Stymest, however I'll state that this a worldwide pandemic, no one wants to see or hear about; yet it's reality.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
