Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
breayle-1 When I first saw this on Encore the other day I thought the guy making this "documentary" was a sick dude! What type of man does this sort of thing, WOW! And the ending is just amazing! This is a great film, all the characters in it are believable (and unbelievable!) and work well all together in their big frightening tangled web that they weave!And as for this movie mocking poor little Asian girls in the US... I'd have to disagree. If you think that all Asian immigrant girls come to the States to marry someone to become a citizen then perhaps YOUR the one with the problem. After all, my very own personal Mail Order husband claims that I'm the best wife he's ever married, and plans to stay with me at the very least till his green card clears. And he's Russian, not Asian. Well he's half Japanese and Russian, but he lived in Russia. Anyways, back to the point... wait... did I have a point?PS> All that extra stuff at the end was just added so I can make the minimum post requirements!
anjushka There is one thing I really don't understand. If this is a documentary, how come all the actors, are really ACTORS. In a documentary somebody is expecting real life and real things, not something that is played from the beginning to the end. I think this documentary or whatever it is, is awful. It could have been a really good touching movie, or a real documentary with real time persons and characters. I was like, hating each moment of this movie, thinking that all those girls are going somewhere they don't understand a thing, just to live a better life. But if a better life is being with old disgusting perverts, or young and frustrated maniacs,I don't know what to say.
RBnNYC I just happened to catch this movie at 4a.m. and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. This movie had me totally fooled until the credits. I thought this was a real documentary. What made it even more real is that Jose Canseco is in the film and plays himself. I was in absolute amazement until the credits rolled. And that's when I realized this was fiction. The acting by this cast was phenomenal, especially Eugenia Yuan and Adrian Martinez. They made it too real. Also the cinematography (if you want to call it that) was great as it was filmed like a real documentary. For sensitive viewers, the story may be too real and can cause an uncomfortable feeling. Some of the material is very serious (which makes it seem even more non-fictitious). But the story line has you in suspense from beginning to end.
Vic_max I have to admit that this movie was well done, but the net effect of how it made me feel was simply 'bad'. I can see the intended black humor, clever and innovative script, and good performances throughout the movie. However, it's simply depressing to watch.One of the most interesting aspects of this movie are the ideas that went into it. These included most of the down aspects - everything from older men and barely 'old-enough' girls, servitude, abuse, exploitation, etc.It's clever, but depressing to watch. I'd say pass on this one unless you want to feel bad.
