POSITIVES…
Well look at that. A viral Twitter thread from 2015 actually became this movie, and it is as crazy as that fact.
Provocative and outrageous, this wild story is an experience to watch.
From pole-dancing sequences to the sudden surge of dangerous situations, this will definitely keep you engaged.
Amazing work by Taylour Paige and Riley Keough as Zola and Stefani respectively.
Colman Domingo and Nicholas Braun were also fantastic!
The visual flourishes and transitions were pretty to see.
Quick pace makes this narrative move really nicely.
Voice over narration by Zola is an entertaining touch.
In a movie filled with some outrageous scenes, that group prayer among strippers is an enjoyable highlight.
There’s also that unsexy sex montage to consider.
While it gets serious in parts, it doesn’t stray from adding bits of comedic moments to keep things light when needed.
Effectively done audio drops throughout, makes it almost like a character itself.
Despite what you might think, this does have thematic things to say. At least treat it like a cautionary tale
Done stylishly, and with some in-your-face imagery, Director Janicza Bravo did an amazing job putting this story on film.
NEGATIVES…
It’s not for everybody, and for those who this isn't for, it's going to be an obnoxious film to watch.
Speaking of obnoxiousness, the character of Stefani is going to really annoy some people.
Scenes when characters are actually speaking out the messages they are typing on their phone is either clever or just dumb and stupid.
Yes it's another movie about strippers without the actual stripping. I understand why that is, but I know certain people will take issue with that.
Take a shot whenever you hear the word "bitch," because they say that maybe too often.
Take a shot whenever you hear those annoying Twitter notification sounds.
