    A very famous actor is the main character.

    I've seen a movie called Halliday before, and I've seen this man acting there. She is probably an actor that women would know. Still, he was handsome and his acting was cool.

    There is no such thing as easy money

    Story about rise and fall of an escort girl turned pimp and how cutthroat your "friends" can be.

    The production value is quite high, though some of the scenes are quite cheesy, but still, it is a movie worth seeing.

    Dziewczyny z Dubaju - recenzja

    Apparently, everyone can be bought, it all depends only on the price and circumstances. At least that's what the idea of gold says, which is somewhat difficult to verify - because most of us have never intended to corrupt, buy or pimp ... Our personal price is one of the main themes of "Girls from Dubai", which the creators do not let us forget when repeating it's stubbornly. The second motive is an equally golden thought that karma returns - that is, that we will have to pay for what we have done in our lives. And here we have more personal experiences, albeit quite different. After all, we know of those who have not paid for arming at all, but not at all.

    "Girls from Dubai" is a huge promotional success, because the whole internet cares about this film, as if it could be at least a Polish candidate for an Oscar. And he couldn't. It is a bizarre fusion of entertainment cinema with departures to quite embarrassing areas, with a cinema of golden thoughts, but also an attempt to look at prostitution from the perspective of women. For the second time I will definitely not see "Girls", but I would also cruelly sin with tales that everything was wrong here.

    It's not just about sexy movie

    Highly polished. A good production value and a shocking story behind the glittering city, Cannes. It's originally from a book and the book is based on a real story. I visited Cannes a few times but never imagined what's really going on. It's not just about a sexy movie. It also shows the truth nobody knows and nobody wants to know.

    Worth(y)

    No pun intended - I was not aware of the controversy the movie had stirred up. Polish movies seem to aim for acting out and giving people things to talk about. While this is not nearly as explicit as another movie (that at the time of writing is a trilogy), it does contain a lot of nudity ... and a lot of violence too.

    Are we all open to the concept of being bought? Is there a price where we would do something we would otherwise call morally wrong? Like how much would it take for you to sleep with someone? Or are you only "available" for oral satisfaction? To be paid for that is of course. Now before you get outraged at the thought, it is not me who asks that question in the first place - at least not here in this case. It is the movie (or the book I reckon this is based on).

    In Germany there are two versions availabel to screen - one of them is cut - around 3 minutes being cut out. I watched that by mistake, but read what I missed out on. To be honest, they could have left that stuff in - but on the other hand, especially the scene towards the end, I am almost thankful they cut it out ... it is abhorring to say the least. But it is part of the movie and it is part of the journey ... a journey that may make you mad! Rightfully so ..
