Exploitation ( 2018 )

Melissa is a fetish model who realizes that she had taken the wrong path. Modeling was to pay for college, but it became her career. She tries to convince a director to forsake exploitation films and return to his artistic roots. Melissa begins to see the dark side of the industry. She warns others of the dangers and wonders if she should heed her own warning before it is too late. This movie was written before the popular social movements about harassment were formed, but it is not a preachy movie, nor is it a tale of condemnation. It is a tragedy, with a few laughs. It is better to find laughter than to search for demons.—Bill Zebub
