The Diamond Rose is a bold, stylish, and emotionally charged addition to the vertical film world - and in many ways, it raises the bar completely. Set within a high-end nightclub that doubles as a strip club, the story follows Jenny Simmons, a ballet teacher drawn into a world of temptation and danger as she fights to save her family. What begins as survival quickly becomes transformation.
Jasmine Aivaliotis is captivating as Jenny, balancing vulnerability and strength with real depth. Jackson Tiller delivers a standout performance as Owen - moody, magnetic, and layered with pain. So much of his performance is expressed through his eyes, and the emotional weight he carries lingers long after the screen fades.
The supporting cast is equally strong: Michelle Costello brings warmth and wit as Scarlett, Jack Noble is quietly compelling as Ritchie, Laura Diaz commands every scene as Carmella, and Jareb Dauplaise adds depth as Arnold. The chemistry between characters feels lived-in and authentic.
The production value is exceptional for the format - from the moody lighting and music to the tight, intimate direction that works beautifully in vertical. Credit to producers Scott Brown and Stacy Howard for creating something that feels fresh, cinematic, and emotionally resonant.
Whether you're here for the romance, the thrill, or the transformation, The Diamond Rose is well worth your time. It's proof that vertical storytelling can be just as rich, stylish, and complex as any traditional format - and I can't wait to see what this team creates next.
