Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

rowmorg Female writer-director Leite has an interesting future. In "Bare" she stuck to the rules and never showed the girls fully nude or exposing their genitals. The heroine (Donna Agron) sniffed a powder, but apparently never sold her body to one of the revolting clients of her den-of-sin club. She preferred to romp in the desert with her bad-girl friend Pepper (La Huaz) who shares a small amount of peyote with her and ravishes her young body afterwards. We've seen Donna shagging in the car with her boyfriend, with no back-arching of the sort Pepper instigates. But eventually the two separate, and Donna goes home and hugs her mother and makes up with her boy-friend. Showing off her assets in a sex club and sniffing powders has caused her to grow up. A nice film, worth seeing.

Elements_30 I thought the movie was good. I thought the acting was amazing, in my opinion. I hope this review helps some because the others are pretty harsh, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm not saying anyone is wrong, just that this movie may not be for everyone. Sorry this is long.Acting: Paz and Dianna play the part well, they are so convincing that, I would have thought that, this is how they act in everyday life. Paz is perfect for the part of pepper, her mannerisms how she speaks all her idiosyncrasies. Dianna's character Sarah is the sweet, somewhat naive townie whom is non-confrontational. Her scenes are captivating, because you feel and see how her character Sarah transforms/develops and really comes into her own when she dances on the pole later in the movie. You see how Sarah feels by looking into her eyes you can see the emotion Dianna is trying to evoke and bring to life for her character.Story: The story itself was interesting. Yes there is the stereotypical storyline; mystery person somewhat causes good girl becomes stripper, which leads to doing drugs, drugs cause her to get in trouble, leading her to an epiphany. However, its not like the character Sarah magically has it all figured out and lives happily ever after. She realizes there is more than the town she's from. She was a no one working at a store, to a stripper/dancer making a lot of money and had potential to do something so daunting/outside of her norm. So, it's sort of in a way her breaking the cycle and going her own way in life, by whatever means necessary. She is more confident by the end of the movie, and see's if she try's she can make it happen, she is willing to work to see the world or do whatever she wants. She is into "random stuff" like abstract type art, Africa documentaries and non-domesticated animals. She is a bit of a dreamer and with pepper, she feels she can achieve or do anything. Pepper makes her feel free, special and adventurous. Overall: I truly did enjoy and like the movie, was it stereotypical in some ways, yes, to a degree. This story touches on someone's life. A lot of stereotypes are based on groups that experience the "same thing" in the most simplistic way to phrase it. I would say if your up for a different kind of movie that wants you to sort of think about life and realize we are in control of it. Go for it. The movie gives you the hope that things can change and can become better but how you get there is your decision, maybe its not legal, maybe you learn your lesson's in life the hard way. But if your willing to work, try and live. The possibilities are endless, but you gotta try and take risks, otherwise the world will make your decisions for you. At least thats what I got out of the film.

Anthony Orlando You can feel how the story portrays something real, unlike the superficial world we all pretend to play in. Although the people around her seem to be in control of their lives, thus knowing best; no one there is even close to noticing what is really going on right in front of them; yet the main character breaks these bounds. Judging anything, to include this movie one should be careful not to fall into the same trap as the majority of the people in script, because everything is valid, and we must look deep inside where we are not comfortable and see the real beauty in front of us.Dianna Argon played her role in this movie wonderfully, always in tune with what I believe the director had intended. A promising career no doubt.

celinejars The movie don't speak about lesbian love, drugs or prostitution but about the perspective of life when you live in a middle of nowhere in America and your only future is working as a saleswoman with 3 kids. They made a documentary about this situation before the movie and it was very interesting to see it before because what they show in the movie is totally true. For a first movie, Nathalia Leite do it very well and the feminine vision do a beautiful rendering. You understand totally why Sarah can fall in love with this girl who is showing her a different life. Pepper is exotic. Maybe the vision and the movie is too feminist for some people.Dianna agron do the best acting in this movie. Maybe she needs to do an intimate production and not a big Hollywood production for acting true and Paz de la huerta was perfect for this role.
