Hustlers

2019, dir Lorene Scafaria w/Constance Wu, Jennifer Lopez, Julia Stiles, Keke Palmer, Lili Reinhart, Lizzo, Cardi B, 110 min, DCP

“Two exotic dancers (Wu and Lopez), both single mothers needing to provide for their families after the 2008 crash, hatch a highly illegal scheme to charm clueless Wall Streeters out of their money. Director Lorene Scafaria’s HUSTLERS is lively and funny, as well as a reminder that it’s often women – and their children – who suffer most when an economic system driven largely by men collapses. When the going gets tough, the tough … hustle.” – Stephanie Zacharek, Time Magazine
