Working Girls (2020)
8/10
You Think Your Life is Hard
11 February 2022
Working Girls, or Filles de Joie, is a brilliant Belgian film which gives us an insight into the world of three women who are doing what they have to in order to make their way through life.

None of them has it easy and, just like all of us, they have things in their private lives that they battle behind closed doors.

This film is about the close bond between three working girls, Axelle, Conso, and Dominique, and the private misery each of them is dealing with in their personal lives.

The three lead actresses are beyond amazing and turn in gritty performances that both mesmerise and pull you slowly in until by the end of the film you feel you know them intimately.

I was recommended this film by a mate and now I want to recommend it to as many people as possible. It's an intimate slice of life that shines a light on the lives of a sometimes forgotten group of people.

And all the while you are reminded that working girls are indeed people.
