Lost Girls & Love Hotels

Mala, lenta y aburrida. Si no fuera por Alexandra Daddario no valdría la pena ni terminar de verla.

Alexandra Daddario gives one of her best performances. This time the script is worthy of her effort.

My kind of movie. Loved the emptiness. Not a great ending, without spoiling it, the movie should have ended in a hotel room.

It tries to be more serious than is but it's a nice enough tale about a kinky English pronunciation teacher who goes off the rails for a Yakuza bad boy. It's not very good, but Alexandra Daddario is gorgeous and so is Takehiro Hira, so there's that!

Daddario is excellent but the film is weak, as a lot of indie films tend to be. Opting for style over substance and trying to be too clever that the beats miss is the least of its problems.

This is one of those movies I had to remember the title of and make sure to put it on my top favorites list of 2021. You'll see low reviews but I thought it was exceptional. First of all, it's shot in Tokyo. Also, it's not just a love story, but also dives a little into her pain for pleasure/submissive desires. The romance is hot. The whole movie is captivating. This is one of Alexandria's edgiest roles yet other than True Detective. Go see it tonight.

Alexandra Daddario's performance was the only good thing about this movie. The story and the setting are too depressing.

Lost Girls and Love Hotels is a compelling look at a woman on the edge. Daddario does a stellar job here in one of her strongest performances to date. The seedier side of Japan is on show but it's worth a visit.

A self-destructive and depressive girl spirals down a seedy underworld with her Yakuza (sorta) boyfriend. She wonders aimlessly around Tokyo, looking for direction but never finding it, and neither does this movie. It's moody, has some decent atmosphere, and Daddario is great as always, but it's a rather tame and plodding psychosexual drama.
