Kudos to Andrea Werhun for laying out her sex work story for all to see, to Sean Baker for continuing to highlight such under-reported stories, and to director Nicole Bazuin for doing such a masterful job. Go to Full Review Christopher Campbell Nonfics (Substack) May 1
What I like most about Modern Whore is that it’s serious, but it still has fun, balancing a tone and aesthetic that’s somewhere between the Drunk History model and a sociology thesis. Go to Full Review Grant Hermanns Screen Rant Apr 30
