    This film is well made and acted.  The cinematography is good.  I felt inescapably drawn into the story and the intense conflict. It has quite a bit of nudity, but it isn’t over the top. It was a bit confusing in focus, at times seeming to be a romance and then other times a dark humor gangster film. It also seems to try too hard to represent another minority perspective and make an immoral lifestyle just another option.  The ending…

    This movie is interesting and entertaining. I enjoyed the history and attention is paid to many details.  Production design, acting, score are all great.

    Acting is good, and so is the production design.  I enjoyed the story quite a lot, but the film was a bit flat and unsurprising.
