Highly polished. A good production value and a shocking story behind the glittering city, Cannes. It's originally from a book and the book is based on a real story. I visited Cannes a few times but never imagined what's really going on. It's not just about a sexy movie. It also shows the truth nobody knows and nobody wants to know.

Great portrayal of a pretty realistic situation. Glad that this tough topic is being brought up. The brilliance is in the end when some women suffered and some enjoyed: the director tried to expose the truth, took a neutral position, and not send any message of blaming who is right or wrong.

What rings the bell and from my knowledge, is real:

• pageant turned escorts: extremely common in all societies both rich and poor
• Saudis looking for paid sxx are vicious and hungry, yes, that's definitely true
• be honest before marriage, don't marry someone you haven't spent enough time with or it might explode in your face
• don't let anyone tape you having sxx; they must be destroyed even so; that stuff bites anyone back. It's very sad these things tend to hurt women most.

• don't fall for quick money. 100% of the time the job is a scam or something way beyond your comfort zone (human trafficking is REAL)
• don't trust anyone who has betrayed you even once.

Story about rise and fall of an escort girl turned pimp and how cutthroat your "friends" can be.

The production value is quite high, though some of the scenes are quite cheesy, but still, it is a movie worth seeing.

I've seen a movie called Halliday before, and I've seen this man acting there. She is probably an actor that women would know. Still, he was handsome and his acting was cool.

Great casting and performances all throughout this haunting, sordid, sexy true life tale. Good direction, some nice cinematography, and solid writing make the long running time endurable. Very few moments felt slow to me. I thought it was nicely paced between the drama, the comedy, and the sexual content. Everything you could want in a film like this.

WARNING: If you don't like seeing the dark side of human nature then this film will absolutely not appeal to you.

Again, If you don't like seeing the dark side of human nature then this film will absolutely not appeal to you.

As for me, I liked it and recommend giving it a watch...or two.
