| Comments | Themes are complex and mature exploring the life of an exotic dancer as she struggles to make a legitimate living to support herself and her ailing grandmother. Themes include hustling, strip tease, strippers and strip shows, exotic dancing for paying clients; immorality perpetuated by immoral men; friendship and loyalty; the Wall street crash of 2008, financial difficulties, manufacturing synthetic drugs for the purpose of drugging and defrauding clients, scamming and betrayal, exploitation of wealthy men to spend money; survival in a tough economy, taking care of family, grooming and sisterhood, with a very strong impact sense of threat and menace. The themes are too mature for younger viewers who may not have reached the cognitive development levels to comprehend the content making the content unsuitable for children younger than 18 years as it can be misleading and morally harmful by distorting their sense of right or wrong and limiting their capacity for human compassion. |

What the Critics say | ||
| 24.com Ilan Preskovsky  For all that it seemingly wants to be the Big Short with (more) strippers, it’s mostly just a less fanciful Ocean’s 8. That’s not a terrible place to be, but it’s not something to go gaga over either. | 10 |  |
