AltAss Ratings (On a scale of 1 to 5 asses)

Plot:                                

A very intriguing subject matter and story that may be a bit on the slow side for some audiences.

Writing:                           

Fantastic dialogue and the research that went into this project was revealed many times over in the realistic product presented on the screen.

Acting:                               

Joe Pesci and Helen Mirren are absolutely wonderful in the lead roles and Sergio Peris-Mencheta is almost as good in his role as the fighter.  Supporting cast is professional and very solid.

Originality:                     

You've never seen a brothel or prostitution depicted in this manner or from this perspective anywhere.

Overall:                           

A fantastic love story that takes place within the least likely of characters and settings.  There are some moments of levity and humor to offset some of the darkness and a history lesson is taught even if achieved through extensive creative license.  Highly reccomended.
