Standout Aspects

Acting

Ascaride carries the entire film on her back.

Direction

Milesi's debut is confident and unflinching.

Cinematography

Grimy Paris streets like you can smell them.

Best for:Solo: Late night when you hate yourself a little.·Rewatch: Catches different once you know the ending.·Streaming: Good luck finding it, honestly.
Heads up:Violence: Opening assault is graphic and unsparing.·Sexual Content: Unromanticized sex work depiction, not titillating.
