MIDV-654: If you don't want your parents or school to find out, just take off your pants." A pervert convenience store manager threatens an immoral J-type girl who shoplifts and forces her to reveal her genitals! Then, seeing her naked and frightened, she couldn't stop getting excited and forced her to have sex with him, saying, "Spread your pussy and show me." Furthermore, he makes her submit to him as a part-time delivery woman, telling her that she can't resist and says, "Repay the nuisance fee by working." Punishment cleaning, vaginal teasing, incontinence, sexual explosive school swimsuit sex, one-shot facial punishment with dirty friends, orgy and crack escalation.
Few movies deal with aging (particularly aging women) with as much compassion as Relic does. Yet it’s not sickly sweet and not a soapbox rant against ageism. Relic simply is, allowing the horror to seep in quietly and carefully.

On top of the phenomenal acting, and great dialogue between the two characters, the cinematography was ravishing! The sound was outstanding! The production design was simple, yet intrinsic. The minimalistic approach in the Malibu beach house represented how little they really have going on in their relationship. The storyline may have been much simpler than "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf," but all the more insightful, and much more animalistic at its core.
It only seems to prove that when the company had their backs against the wall and needed an all pleasing, generic movie that had to make up for The Last Jedi, they chose to sacrifice almost everything that made their main protagonist interesting and that made her stand out as the strong female character that a generation of young movie goers was supposed to look up to. Instead, we were left with a Rey that was so much less than she could have been. And I guess that’s the real story of Rey and The Rise of Skywalker; they could have been so much more, but they were just more of the same.
Hustlers was meant to be a film about female empowerment. And it was, to a certain extent. I expected and wanted this to be a kickass and complex film of sexy women who use their confidence, skills, and wits towards a brilliant plan to get revenge on the Wall Street guys who wronged them.
