About
You may like this if you want a slow-burn indie drama about a young woman navigating sex work, messy relationships, and a fresh start; Not for you if you need a tight plot, bleak consequences, or explicit content like Afternoon Delight.
Pros: gritty coming-of-age vibe; provocative subject matter; a few strong performances | Cons: uneven acting; slow, wandering pacing; abrupt, unsatisfying ending
