Girl Lost: A Hollywood Story

To the review saying my review is fake: I have been a member for 8 years, probably wrote 100 short concise reviews and rated several hundreds of movies so my review is not fake, the low budget style makes you feel as if you are there with the actors, and as I said I enjoyed the voyeurism aspect of this movie, I never said it was a masterpiece neither.

I thought it would be kind of boring since low budget but it was actually good and entertaining.

I guess you can either watch it for its political statement / educational purpose or because you are curious and enjoy voyeurism which is my case.

Right, well I didn't really have much of any high hopes for the 2020 movie titled "Girl Lost: A Hollywood Story" from writer and director Robin Bain. But still, it being a new movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I ended up sitting down to watch it.

And color me impressed. Now, now, don't get me wrong, I am not saying that I was impressed in the way that "Girl Lost: A Hollywood Story" was a masterpiece, not at all. But I was impressed in the way that the movie was actually entertaining and had an interesting enough story to tell.

The storyline told in "Girl Lost: A Hollywood Story" is one that depicts a very seedy side to the underbelly of Tinseltown (aka Hollywood). Now, how realistic, true or what not this depiction of the sex industry is, I have no idea, but I will say that writer and director Robin Bain managed to turn it into an entertaining enough movie that does paint a horrible picture.

I was intrigued that Dominique Swain was on the cast list, but she wasn't in the movie for 5 minutes, so that was somewhat of a disappointment for me. But hey, that hardly mattered, because they had cast some pretty nice talents for the movie. I must admit that I was really impressed with the performances of Moxie Owens (playing Hope), Cody Renee Cameron (playing Paige) and Psalms (playing Baby Girl). These actresses really carried the movie phenomenally.

It should be said that "Girl Lost: A Hollywood Story" is not a movie that will appeal to everyone in the audience, as it deals with some topics that can be rather controversial or sensitive.

Turns out that "Girl Lost: A Hollywood Story" was actually a wholehearted movie experience. This was a movie that definitely surprised me, and it is a movie that I think you owe to yourself to sit down and watch, just keep in mind that the movie might be a bit over the edge for some viewers.

I was genuinely entertained by the movie's storyline and its interesting character gallery. As such, I am rating the movie a seven out of ten stars.

Chunks of this film has terrible acting, dialogue, direction and production values. But once you are aware of that, you will keep watching. It has a good story and it's got a realistic backdrop.

I was a bit dubious wether to watch it or not. With a prominent female cast and writer/director, I was expecting a feminist agenda. To be fair, that's not the case. I'm sure if it had the budget for better actors (there were several good actors in this movie) and production, I'm sure it would be a commercial success.

It's the story that makes this interesting. Not the cheesy dialogue or performances in parts. Give it a watch.

It's a cheap looking movie but the story is decent. Some of the acting is sketchy to say the least but it's watchable.

Movie attempts to tell the story of the sex trade apparently without knowing anything about the sex trade. But with bad everything; writing, acting, photography, sound, you name it, they manage to convey the simple truth that not everyone is cut out for Hollywood. Not even pandemic grade viewing. AVOID!
