"A provocative documentary essay about the many different ways that movies and television have depicted prostitutes and strippers across the decades, in ways sometimes bracingly honest but more often exaggerated and exploitative. Directed by Juliana Piccillo, the film is loaded with clips, strung together with interviews in which critics and sex workers offer insights into pop culture’s love-hate relationship with the people who sell their bodies for a living." - Los Angeles Times
"A fascinating insight into how cinema impacts real-world communities and a hopeful argument for the power of cinema to comfort and inspire." - Letterboxd
"...the film shows elegantly how sex workers as portrayed in film and, similarly, society." Radical Art Review
"It’s difficult to do Piccillo’s film justice, but the conceit of having former and current sex workers and activists commenting on the portrayals of their community in the popular media is a genius one." Front Page Confidential
“Thank you so much for this film it is very close to my heart, it made me laugh, cry and bawk! I wish this film could be seen by middle schoolers honestly!"
