Really good!

[BandSAboutMovies · 6/10 · 14 June 2021]

Roxy is an exotic dancer is stalked by a man who won't leave her alone until she agrees to stop being a dancer, which causes her to lose everything in her life that she ever cared about. Pretty much every man - with the possible exception of the bouncer - is a horrible person and our heroine has to figure out a way to simply survive.

I expected this movie to be a quick and cheap stripper movie and ended up watching a movie that was well directed and filmed that built some genuine tension throughout. Writer/director Jason Rosenblatt has been making shorts since this movie, but I'm really interested in his next full-length attempt.

Check it out for yourself and see a film that tells the story of the control of dancers on stage and the control that men try to exert upon them.

Roller Coaster Crash

[bemyfriend-40184 · 5/10 · 30 April 2021]

Tense, twisting roller-coaster ride. Great linear story, up to the end. Trusted friends turn out to be betrayers, or are betrayed. And our heroine turns out to be a butt hole. A liberal dose of misandristic feminist messaging. Gets five stars for the story, until the Taxi Driver style end. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site; with many other indies.

Not just another Stripper show

[MovieGuardian · 8/10 · 11 March 2021]

What I thought was going to be another cheesy striper film actually had a good story behind it. Well directed, and great acting by the cast and crew. It is definitely worth watching.

Way Better Than Expected

[perfectx-71415 · 8/10 · 11 May 2021]

Expected a crappy stripper movie and got half decent thriller instead. While it definitely made cheaply, it's made competently. This movie gets pretty dark sometimes and could actually make a pretty good argument for someone not to become a stripper. Overall Good directing, damn good performances, and most of all hot strippers!

Solid movie with a unique story and compelling cast of characters

[mfoxartist · 8/10 · 3 October 2023]

This was a terrific little film that managed to do a lot with a limited budget. Sure, there were a few tropes sprinkled throughout, but all things considered it remained very entertaining. For a movie about a stripper, it didn't go overboard with the nudity and the director usually placed the drama before titillation.

The main cast of actors were all pretty solid across the board and accomplished a very naturalistic tone for the film. There were enough twists and turns to keep the pace moving along, and a few heartbreaks that were rather upsetting.

I'll tell you, if all men were judged by the patrons of this strip club, we'd all be lower than vermin. I had a girlfriend who worked at a strip club, and while there were a few bad apples, most customers were not as horrible as these guys.

The stripper-who's-going-to-law-school is one very tired trope, but I'll forgive the movie for that one since they spun a fairly unique movie out of it. I thought the ending...that comes after the "ending"...was really great. She knew exactly what to say, but we'll just have to use our imagination.
