Nuts
- Commentary: Under construction.
This movie was not particularly well reviewed, despite having solid stars in all the leads and most of the second string cast and, as well, no slouchy acting. I've read loads of reviews of this movie, though, which means that critics paid attention to it, even if they found it hard to take for all sorts of reasons.
I've always liked it. I'm not sure why this movie was mostly excoriated. The story is solid. The acting is solid. Maybe the subject matter was uncomfortable for a lot of (male) critics to handle. Maybe it exploded their personal views of elite hookers. I don't know. Doesn't matter. Now I own it.
More later.
