Our take

An MA 15+ dramedy about a Brooklyn strip-club worker who impulsively marries a wealthy Russian heir. Explicit sexual content, near-constant f-word profanity, cigarette and drunk scenes, and a violent home invasion when his family arrives fill the runtime. The tone mixes Cinderella fantasy with class satire and raw language. Strictly for mature older teens and adults.

Uplifting themes

Resilience surfaces, but satire and chaos dominate

Story (may spoil tone)

A young sex worker from Brooklyn gets her chance at a Cinderella story when she meets and impulsively marries the son of an oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairytale is threatened as his parents set out to get the marriage annulled.
