Our take
The neon-lit world of striptease is depicted without judgement in Lucie Borleteau’s liberating film, which centers on a queer romance between two charismatic dancers. Both the bodily ecstasy of performance and the camaraderie that blossoms backstage powerfully attest to sex work’s vitality.
