🌟 (Spoiler-Free)🌟
This amazing film fights the stigmatization of women who strip (without objectifying them) presents the real life protagonists with symphonic whirlpools of empathy (while not shying away from their selection of flawed decisions) and rightfully depicts almost all Wall Street execs behaving as leeches (in more ways than one). Some may be surprised that the genres don't merely exist as drama and comedy...tragedy thrives amongst them too. Yes, I ugly wept (as typical, with silence) mostly alongside Dorothy (Destiny) as performed by Constance Wu. That point brings me to Jennifer Lopez's work here. Excellence was the manifestation of her performance so she is rightfully being celebrated for her acting though I believe Constance Wu's performance is no less phenomenal. The rest of the acting was fitting while the technical aspects were outstanding, particularly the direction, script, editing, and eclectic music selection (Classical music was employed emphatically too! 😍) P.S. ★ Hustlers presented a theme which I wasn't expecting: Our souls ache to push through the superficiality and interlace with others' who we love; being spiritually nurtured when our yearning is fulfilled. ★ It was refreshing to experience a film which could have easily tipped over into exploitation arrive from a female gaze. ★ One of my favorite lines is one which could be misconstrued as dumb but it's profound in context: "Hurt people hurt people."
