Although this story is not one that hasn't been told in part in other films, Hollywood has yet to figure out how to tell it responsibly and accurately and this film is no exception. Hope is a minor that comes from a home wherein she is abused by her babysitter and neglected by her parents. Her path into the sex industry crosses faintly with the other primary character who travels from stripping and dancing topless to more extreme behaviour in an effort to provide for her child. Overall there is a story told that progresses into more intense exploitation as the film goes on, but in the process the filmmakers go off the rails as they expose child and adult actors to exploitation themselves in their attempts. The intensity of the film grows with each passing minute that crosses lines, pushing them and progressing them unwillingly and further into the life of a sex-worker. The tragic nature of the character's journeys are emotional at times when engaging in conversations with others who want the best for them. However, the adult character engages in stylistic soft-* while the viewer is lead to feel that the tragedy is really for her daughter and not so much for herself, and at times in front of child actors. The underage character is herself playing a sexualized role, dancing provocatively in her underwear, talking sexy and touched and caressed by others in intimate fashion. If you are looking for voyeuristic titillation, it is better found elsewhere than this soft-rendition of pedophilia and soft-*. If you are looking for a hard-expose or insight into the lives of sex-workers, Hollywood has not learned how to tell this story responsibly or accurately and this film is no exception.

I loved the first Girl Lost movie and this second one does not disappoint. Both films feel true to the LA underground scene of the sex industry that is not often illustrated in films. The city of Los Angeles is not sugar coated and looks pretty dismal which seems to be a sad reality today in 2021. The story highlights the lives of four desperate women finding their way by any means while doing sex work. I liked that the movie portrayed women exploiting other women and not the typical male "pimp". With hyper realism I almost felt like I was watching a documentary. Really good movie. The pacing is fast, I was left wanting more. Also, the original score is beautiful. Recommend.

I'm from the UK, and often visit the US, done some amazing trips, went to Hollywood with my parents in the 90s, Stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel opposite the Chinese Theatre, all i heard was gun shots and when we left the hotel, saw ladies of the night. We got the Stars coach tour, and suddenly this couple got up and tried to sell us drugs. My 1st visit to the US, and my last visit to Hollywood, you have the sign and the Chinese Theatre with the Museum and of course Disney. Also remember my Dad loved to walk and went out for a early walk around 7am, got back to the hotel and the receptionist thought he was nuts. "to walk along Hollywood Boulevard on his own wearing a watch and rings. Been to New York many times, walked about day and night never had that same vibe as LA gave me. As Billy Joel sang, Goodbye to Hollywood.

Really sad movie but so good. I like this new one better than the 1st. FYI for anyone who doesn't know, there is a 1st Girl Lost movie from the same writer and director. This is the 2nd one. I hope they make a 3rd. This is a great little indie franchise about women living on the edge in Los Angeles.

The story is so-so. The production, directing and acting isn't great. I'm not sure how this film is rated so highly.

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.

So it's an indie film and that excuses a lot of smaller gripes, but the acting is pretty bad. Specifically the character of Beth, who is played out as a one-dimensional evil character for the purposes of the movie. The movie doesn't shy away from nudity and the odd part is that for a movie that's about how people try to sexualize children, the movie itself sexualizes the actor playing the young girl - with unnecessary nudity and scenes meant to appeal to perverts. Kind of gross the director would sink to completely tasteless shots of the girl being raped (which were also comically bad in acting - guys licking their lips and other silliness). The one upside is that the movie ends realistically and wasn't shy in showing that these stories seldom have a happy ending.
