    What a Bore

    The movie purports to profile some trans sex workers and their trials and tribulations. What it succeeds to do is put the watcher to sleep.

    The told stories are clearly manufactured in that they make no sense whatsoever. One of the girls gives her name (first and last) and then says she doesn't want to give her middle name! Ooooo! That's a BIG secret. NOT.

    It's ridiculous and you have to sit through this poor excuse for a documentary for an hour and twelve minutes.

    The third girl says she worked at a "very famous" restaurant before she got into sex work. I never heard of the place.

    Each conversation -- which is rendered annoying by the director finding it necessary to re-enact scenes with really bad actors.

    It doesn't take long to figure out the problems these girls have are in their heads and the chips are totally on their own shoulders.
