Ashley McAllister Bitch Media 01/12/2021
The women interviewed in Whore's Glory are presented discussing personal experiences, frustrations, and hopes with honesty and humor, and it's these stories that make this documentary definitely worth your time Go to Full Review

"Whores' Glory" takes a deadpan, nonjudgmental approach, which generally works well, even if the fly-on-the-wall technique makes clear that what attracts flies usually stinks. Go to Full Review

Glawogger has the good sense mostly to stay out of the way and let the material speak for itself. Go to Full Review
Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine 01/24/2023
Glawogger’s final feature journeys through Thailand, Bangladesh and Mexico, finding different degrees of (attempted) dignity in labor and all-out exploitation while remaining counterintuitively gorgeous to look at. Go to Full Review

Vítor Pimentel de Oliveira V Mar 25 It is a commendable work that, unfortunately, is harmed by a third act (Mexico) that, by focusing on the sexualization of prostitutes instead of their desires and dreams, ends up undoing much of the effort presented in the work until then. See more 05/02/2017 Blurring the lines between what is culturally accepted and morally appropriate, this doc can really give some insight into the lives of women who see and fill a need. See more 01/01/2015 Dont watch this one with your girlfriend. This is an observational doco of 3rd world whore houses. Quite graphical and crude but somehow had me drawn in the whole way by the blunt dialogue and raw images. If your into a good cinema verite style doco, watch this! See more 11/03/2014 in between the interesting and usual information a movie like this gives it diverges into artsy music driven montages to give us a feel for the settings. I would have much preferred the doc to be less of a cinematographers showoff reel. Still there is a good amount of interesting stuff, a sometimes depressing view into a surprisingly common piece of other cultures.
