I really loved this film.
That's quite an accomplishment for a story that is dark, and characters who are unsympathetic. But it raises important issues that need to be examined and discussed.
Very well acted, well directed, written and edited.
I can understand why some people might not like a film that poses controversial questions, and fearlessly goes where most dare not tread. But I appreciated that it dared to go to those places.
It's a great film to discuss if you have open minded, intelligent friends who appreciate that victimization isn't always as clear cut as we would like it to be.
Or, you may just end up losing friends afterwards. #NOTaMEtooStory

Geeze this movie had a lot of potential. I know it was an over dramatization of a real situation, but i feel like this movie could have delivered so much more. There are parts of the movie that are really strong, and you become intrigued and you feel very invested in the movie, but it falls flat almost immediately. The ending somewhat saved it, but you don't necessarily feel her loss, you just feel somewhat benign. I would love to see a remake of this movie, but with a better screenplay. I loved the lead male photographer and female model. you also see full front of a very hairy dude. Hes hot but not well groomed. thats not a spoiler. its just a fact.
The tone of the movie is good. I don't feel relax watching the stuff that happens. You can see that is a grounded in reality that this can happen to a model. The ending is good too. It her choice if she wants to go back that hellish glamorous world of fashion or back to her comfort zone.

This is a strong, solid film...has alot going for it believable performance by Maria Palm as we experience Paris fashion world through her eyes.skillfully played out. Im not into high fashion and didn't think I would like this film but loved it.
Great use of cinema, tactile, unpredictable, lively engaging. Crew put in some solid effort with editing and soundtrack and mixing is quite brilliant , casting great too- hats off.
Where budget may have been lacking the filmaker concentrated on story and characters and it worked. The film is fresh and you don't miss what bigger budgets give because the script is so good.
The film also has just the right pacing with room to Breathe and think, something rare nowadays.
A Great achievement all around I'm looking forward to seeing what this director can do with a bigger budget, knock out socks off I'm sure!

A 2016 movie about a young model who is taken advantage of (a little) by some of the people she meets in Paris... I agree with the previous reviewer; it's well made, good story line, well acted, giving a balanced picture of the modelling industry, and one girl's story of how things can go wrong, & survival. There was another 2016 movie about a model, "Neon Demon", and this was 100 times more worthwhile, and probably cost a lot less to make! The audio & visual impact of Neon Demon was awesome, but it was a hollow waste of time, and the publicity machine made it look attractive. If "The Model" was treated the same way, it would still have been good, but it didn't need the gloss or powerful audio track to make it work. Some of the dialogue is in Danish, but you don't really need subtitles to understand what's being said.
