Remedy (2013)
Edgy and smart
12 August 2019 - 3 out of 3 users found this review helpful.
Remedy is an exceptional film for many reasons: the lighting, camera work, direction, and acting are all on point, and the story is honest. The protagonist, Remedy, played by Kira Davies, is curious and brave woman who ventures into the world of professional BDSM. Unlike other films about sex work, this film brings worker community to the front instead of focusing on the clients. It is a realistic look at how career burnout happens. Remedy is not a feelgood, "happy hooker" film, nor does it replay the tired trope of sex worker as victim, it's simply a movie about a woman with a job who does not get enough rest.
This is a very important film bringing sex workers to the front, not as empowered or victimized beings, but simply as people.
