Admin's Note: OK so I gave it a watch last night on Amazon Prime and I don't get what all the fuss is about. There was a lot of press uproar that it didn't get nominated for an Oscar and especially the performance of J Lo. But apart from her dancing very early in the movie, it didn't keep my attention. Constance Wu was probably the lead character but I found it weird seeing her in a completely different role to Jessica Huang in Fresh Off The Boat. I have been a big fan of Julia Stiles for 20+ years. Talented actress and doesn't crave press attention like a lot of Hollywood people do, but she wasn't in it enough. For a real life story it didn't keep me entertained.

	I watched it a while back, was a watchable film but not oscar worthy not even close. The highlight was J Lo as a pole dancer, it was a interesting story and everybody played their parts fairly well but not anything I'm in a hurry to watch again.
