Sex: My British Job

Nothing of value is offered by this documentary. In fact it's not even about a narrator who does sex as her job like the title would suggest, it's a housemaid working and observing brothels from a distance, and as such, the film remains skin-deep and devoid of any insight or revelation.

We've all seen the same girls whining and bickering about money and being illegal immigrants on countless other docu films. The preyed upon turned to preying on others, what's there to see? What really bothers me about this film is their way of deceitful filming method of spying on unsuspecting "participants" and then later on selling the whole thing as a film for profit. This is not investigative exploration, it's exploitation on the same level as the way these brothel owners treat their fellow girls (if they don't have legal status then they can't do anything or complain about the filming right?). The undercover lady eventually got extremely bitter about the way she's treated by the owner and went as far as not to mask the owners identity (and even her unflattering naked old body) in the final cut, most likely as a way to "expose" her... very professional indeed. The English subtitle also distorts the owners words in a very negative light when the original spoken dialog weren't that harsh.

This is one fine example on how to do a meaningless and exploitative film with micro budget. A total waste of time.
