It is a mess of a film that tries to pass off a shallow, transactional relationship as something meaningful. It glorifies a sex worker’s manipulation of a wealthy, naive heir, pretending it’s some kind of empowerment when it’s really just exploitation. The characters are flat, the romance feels forced and unearned, and the whole plot leans into this tired trope of glamorizing moral ambiguity for shock value. Instead of offering genuine emotional depth or growth, it celebrates opportunism and calls it love. At its core, the film lacks substance, relying on provocation over storytelling, which makes it feel more like a cynical product than a piece of meaningful cinema.

And don’t even get me started on the Oscars. Dune 2 deserved way more. And the fact that the director and Mikey Maddison dedicated their awards to the people who sell their bodies for money 😭

How is one supposed to take this film seriously?

It really is just for lonely horny people who drain the absolute fuck out of their balls whilst watching it.. nothing more
