All in all, this was not a good movie. Just because it isn't the worst movie doesn't mean I recommend watching it. Maybe if your stuck at home because of a global pandemic. But only then.
I watched this based on some of the reviews written here praising it. It amazes me how some people see something and call it art while others are not impressed.
This movie isn't the worst movie I have ever seen, and I watched the entire thing. I wanted it to be good. The camera work was good, the audio was good, the acting was okay. The story, however, was like a madlib, a bunch of things thrown together that supposedly create a story.
It's pretty out there by the time the "great reveal" rolls around near the end. The foreshadowing is gross and not necessary, that entire part of the movie could have been left out, including the great reveal. It was nonsensical and had nothing to do with anything else in the movie.
The "love interest" was a pretty female, but possibly the worst exotic dancer since Striptease, and her character's habit of slapping every patron she danced for or who looked at her seems a little dumb. In the very small town they lived in it seems odd for the owner of strip club to be making so much cash. The strip club as an art form is dumb as well. Movie makers need to get over their belief that men go to strip clubs because of the artistic bent of some girls who remain dressed. That never happened, not in Flashdance and not here either.
