After seeing the movie and reading both girls side of the story, one thing is clear. Neither one of the are prostitutes' but both of them are strippers. So as a former stripper myself I can say this movie was an honest look into a ghetto a$$ life of a stripper. I loved how when something bad happened Zola zoned out, because this is something I have done a lot before. First on the phone and then in the hotel when all the guns were drawn.
In "That life" all different types of situations can and will be thrown at you. Sometime you have to fade out of the picture in your mind to cope so for me this movie was too close to home. I love Riley Keough and seeing her in this movie and in The Lodge shows me how she can wear many faces when it comes to acting.
She was totally believable as a hood chick and I was surprised! As far as Indy films go this one was not bad at all. It kept my interest and I didn't need subtitle to tell me what they were really saying. Hood talk comes easy to me, as does intellectual conversation. I will say that if you have never been in a stripper situation or ever been from the hood then this is NOT a movie for you.
For me though it was engaging and I did want to see what happened next. If you ask me Jessica should be in the spotlight for this movie as well. But it looks like only Zola is being offered a book deal for writing a few hundred tweets. I wish! I also wish these two would make up and tell the real story because I have no doubt majority of this movie was actually true. Which is sad because sex work in this movie was almost glorified and I would hate for incorrigible minds to get the wrong message from it!
