Our take

How can a movie shot on a mobile phone look as gorgeous as this intrepid portrait of female friendship? Filmmaking tricks aside, Sean Baker’s fifth feature gives voice to one of L.A.’s least explored subcultures while emerging as a tactful working-girl revenge hit. A major hit at Sundance!
