Jack and I enjoyed this based-on-truth story about NYC strippers fleecing their wealthy clients. We streamed it on netflix about five weeks ago after Jennifer Lopez was SAG- and Golden-Globe-nominated for Supporting Actress (but lost). She's very good as the senior member of the group, with the lead role taken by Constance Wu, and supporting roles include Trace Lysette, Cardi B, and Lizzo.
Director/writer Lorene Scafaria based her screenplay on the 2015 New York Magazine article by Jessica Pressler (here's the whole thing).
Lopez trained with a pole in her house, to the delight of her fiancé Alex Rodriguez.
No composer is credited. Instead we have a great playlist of songs, listed here and here.
Wu was last blogged for Crazy Rich Asians and Scafaria for The Meddler. Lysette was one of the trans actresses in twelve episodes of Transparent, and Cardi B and Lizzo are famous musicians, as you most likely know, since they're famous!
Rotten Tomatoes' critics are averaging 87% but its audiences a mere 65. It's pretty much fun but isn't nominated for any Oscars.
