This wasn't nominated for any Oscars but it probably should have been.Dorothy (Constance Wu) works as a stripper to provide for her grandmother (Wai Ching Ho). After the financial crash of 2008, she and her stripper mentor Ramona (Jennifer Lopez) decide to get revenge on the Wall Street fat cats who suffered zero repercussions for causing the crash. They put together a small band of gorgeous women and work out a system of singling men out, drugging them, and maxing their credit cards.
This is based on a true story. I'm not going to debate about the morality of what they did or whether or not the dudes had it coming. (They did and worse.) I am not going to talk about how a female-led and female-directed film was unfairly shut out at the Oscars. (It was.) I am going to talk about how good JLo and Constance Wu were, though. (So good!) And Lili Reinhart! This is the second film from last year to have a character vomit from sheer stress. That was not a thing I expected to become trendy.
Honestly, this was a really good film about women, friendship, and empowerment that also includes a lot of really gorgeous women stripping.
