Hustlers (Lorene Scafaria, 2019)

First off, I know there's Oscar buzz re: Jennifer Lopez's performance. But I'd be surprised if she were even nominated, not because she wasn't terrific (she was!) but because it's not an Oscary performance. Second, it's a damn solid film. The strip joint scenes were electric and several moments had me doubting my well-manicured homosexuality. It's also a great sonic performance with fleet sound editing and a fantastic scene delivered through a police wire. Finally, Cardi B and Lizzo are also on board! Grade: B+ although that's sure to go up after a home viewing on headphones.
