One disgruntled IMDb reviewer wrote, "There is no plot—only a stream of images following prostitutes in a bordello. The cinematography is OK and there are many realistic depictions of the female body but the overall result was oh-so-dull." Oh-so-dull? Fool, this movie has Hafsia Herzi and a ton of nudity, what is your beef?
We guess if you're sitting down in a theater, hoping to be swept up in a story, then a murky plot might ruffle your feathers, but it's silly to ignore such a silver lining, especially when the silver lining is so flesh-colored. The good thing about porn watchers like you (yes, you) is that you can easily accept a lack of story—you can just lie back and soak up the aesthetics. And might we say there are some damn fine aesthetics to absorb here.
