A fine feature debut from Jackie English, showing the burlesque world from an insider's perspective, as well as a multicultural perspective on personal empowerment.

An empowering story.
Well worth seeing
An eye opener for sure, and a good approach to a controversial subject.
Could maybe have been a bit deeper script wise and maybe longer, but overall good otherwise.
Fantastic. It opens up a longe gone closed culture.
Humans need to progress, not stand still for thousands of years.
This movie and the skilled actors illustrate the challenges of a modern cultures soft spot.
Namely the freedom to be religious even if it hinders others freedom and life.
That makes it profoundly important. <3
