I think I just really liked the way female friendships were explored, especially in an environment like a strip club. It can be so valuable to have friends in a place like that.

Also as someone who remembers 2007-2013 the musical cues were really on point. It's like such a small detail but it really immerses you in the time period this film take a place in.

The acting was amazing. I really hope JLo gets that Oscar. She was the scene stealer.

Cardi B was hilarious in her small role and I wish she got more to so.

This is honestly one of my favorite movies of the year so far.

That's a lot of word vomit but yeah, I loved this movie

I really loved how
Ramona forgives Destiny and still loves her despite taking the plea deal. In a lot of movies and shows Ramona would hate Destiny but not here and I appreciated that. It also shows Ramona's empathy since she too has a daughter and would have done the same thing.

The movie was lame as heck. Showgirls was better. At least there were fully nude scenes with chicks.

yeah.
what hustlers does that i've maybe never seen before is how both leads fuck eachother over in different ways, but do so either in ignorance or reasonable self-preservation, so they each 'get it' even when they are severely wounded by the other's actions. Their relationship has a complexity to it that dwarfs many like it in other "gangster movie" type films.

McKay and O. Russell wish they could make a movie this good. Academy would have showered them with Oscars if their hack names was on this as the director.
