I wanted to but couldn't!

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Came across this one by chance and decided to give it a try. This is a nicely made coming of age story that takes place in a small dead- end town in Nevada. We have seen stories like that many times before but this one still stood out for me for its feel.The pace is just right so the film never gets dull despite the fact that it's a slowburner. The camera work is absolutely wonderful and definitely elevates certain scenes. Another thing worth mentioning is the soundtrack. If you love indie/alternative type of music (Chromatics, Part Time) you will be very pleased. The songs perfectly match the scenes. The one that especially stands out in my opinion is the desert scene with the snake, everything comes together nicely there making it almost hypnotic.The acting is solid. Dianna Agron (The Family, I Am Number Four) and Paz de la Huerta (Enter the Void, A Walk to Remember, Boardwalk Empire) work well together and it's nice to see Dianna Agron doing something different and daring from her previous roles. The stand- out performance would have to be Chris Zylka though (Kaboom, The Leftovers), an obvious scene stealer in this one. If you are a fan of indie films then I would recommend Bare. Just let yourself slowly be immersed in it and it will take you away a little for those 90 minutes.

Female writer-director Leite has an interesting future. In "Bare" she stuck to the rules and never showed the girls fully nude or exposing their genitals. The heroine (Donna Agron) sniffed a powder, but apparently never sold her body to one of the revolting clients of her den-of-sin club. She preferred to romp in the desert with her bad-girl friend Pepper (La Huaz) who shares a small amount of peyote with her and ravishes her young body afterwards. We've seen Donna shagging in the car with her boyfriend, with no back-arching of the sort Pepper instigates. But eventually the two separate, and Donna goes home and hugs her mother and makes up with her boy-friend. Showing off her assets in a sex club and sniffing powders has caused her to grow up. A nice film, worth seeing.

I wanted to like Bare, Diana Agron and Paz De la Huerta are amazing actors, but this type of story has been done to death. Spoilers ahead.Young inexperienced girl meets worldly girl, and tries new exciting things, only to find the new things are not all that she thought they were. We've seen that story many times, I can think of two others, one also with Paz De la Huerta, but there are many more of course. The best thing about it was Diana Agron and Paz De la Huerta kissing. However, the film in its entirety didn't have anything new to offer the film world, and was pretty boring, even for a "serious drama." It was a waste of their talent, but was good for them to get some experience acting in a drama I suppose.

This is the worst movie I've ever been forced to sit through. Not sure how this even got made, luckily the general public will be spared as it won't ever be in a real movie theater. Diana Agron and Paz De la Huerta are good actors but not in this film. It is pretty to look at, yet has absolutely no real direction or vision. There is no story, just fragments and half ideas thrown together. And despite being made by a woman director, it is full of the male gaze and old stereotypes. It's also extremely white and lacks diversity.Plot synopsis: Poor young white woman in a small town who thinks her only way to escape is to become a stripper. This is a very narrow-minded and contrived film with a formula we've seen a million times in bad 80s films. It's like the director just replaced the stereotypical bad-ass guy in a leather jacket with Paz De la Huerta.
