Glawogger passes no judgment upon the prostitutes whose business his documentary describes, but neither does he pass any judgment upon the society that drives so many unfortunates to take up this line of work. The all-seeing unseeing eye of his camera observes these lives as though they take place in a fishbowl, isolated and insulated from us and incapable of having much of an impact on us by identifying with the humanity of its subjects. Indeed their humanity and the inward struggles and conflicts they must suffer are made invisible under Glawogger’s annealing lens. As soon as a suggestion of human conflict begins to congeal, Glawogger switches to another subject, another glossy frame, and the tension is lost. A year or more after watching it, only two women’s stories stand out in memory. One is a mother of several children in Faridpur, Bangladesh preparing to begin her day’s work on behalf of her family and a younger handsome boyfriend whom she supports and says she loves – flipframe, goodbye. Another is a sex-worker in Reynosa, Mexico who is the only prostitute who seemed to have gotten what she wanted from the job. She says that she is horny most of the time, that she “still likes cock, and I cum doing it,” – flipframe, goodbye.

This film is documentary film making at its best. I don't think it's possible to overrate this film. Just setting aside the content/narrative (which is intense, complex, beautifully and patiently told), the sheer beauty of the lighting will knock your socks off. I don't know how this film COULD have been made, let alone HOW it was made. This film also heavily blurs the line between candid moments and staged moments, the real and the fictitious, which is consistent with the content behind and within sex as a commodity, and in my view, an essential element in documentary film making. Just phenomenal.

From the trailer, this film looked like it had potential to be poignant and well-produced, but the storylines did not go anywhere. It ended up feeling exploitative of these women, just like the prostitution industry itself. This film does nothing for sex workers, and gives very little new perspective on the industry. I was disappointed.

This film is probably one of the grittiest, glaringly horrific, and offensive documentaries to deal with the world of sex workers, worldwide. The subjects depicted in these three thirld world countries are open and opininated about their work and the sexual politics associated with their profession. It's so painfully aware of its own degradation and accuracy, shot beautifully and yet so ugly in its content. Director Michael Glawogger travelled to Thailand, Bangladesh, and Mexico to examine the attitudes of its citizens in regards to how women are treated as commodities. The women see their profession as an ends to a mean, and their only hope, while men see them as objects, and the interchangeable dialogue between the two reflects a dissonance of opinion on the subject of gender politics. The use of music, cinematography, and interviews interspersed between the action, really detail the inhumane conditions of the sex industry and the horrible standards set by a begrudging society.

This movie strives and succeeds to do nothing more than give us complete, unrequited intimacy with female prostitutes of Thailand, Bangladesh, and Mexico, none of whom wanted their names on the film. It's remarkable how candid and comfortable everyone is with the camera present. There is no verbal narrative from Director Glawogger, only the women and their customers, but Glawogger complements their stories with a delicate soundtrack and camera angles full of information, sensation, and introspection. There are no judgements explicitly placed here, nor are there any motions of activism. The film invites the viewer to think for themselves about the whys and the hows of economics, society, culture, and the instinctual drive for both sex and survival. In one scene, a young, soft spoken Bangladeshi who looked as if she knew her life is already written on the wall, broke a silence, "We women are actually very unhappy creatures. It is very hard to survive as a woman . . . Why do women suffer this much? Isn't there another path for us?" She paused. "Is there a path at all? . . . Who can truly answer this question?" Who, indeed.
