As Hustlers’ Destiny, Constance Wu is a woman looking to pay her bills by stripping in a New York club. One night she meets expert pole dancer and hustler Ramona (Jennifer Lopez), and the pai…
Based on the true story of Roselyn Keo—made famous by aarticle—the film takes us on a rollercoaster ride through epic rip-off schemes and devoted female friendship, while drawing parallels between the financial crimes of Wall Street guys circa 2008, and those of the women who fleeced them. Wu’s portrayal is both fun—Cardi B hilariously teaches her to lap dance—and poignant—the overarching theme is one of isolation and disappointment.
When you explore somebody’s human story, you understand why they might make the choices they make. So, I think some people might’ve been like, “Did you do this because you wanted to be sexy?” No. It was about loneliness for me. But from loneliness springs a lot of things… So that was how I made my choices, because it was about her, not about me. Because it’s definitely not something that I would be comfortable doing in my real life.: I’m so glad you saw that, because for me, that’s what it is.
: I really didn’t meet her until I started on the movie, because she was in Miami and New York a lot. The person I talked to the most before we started on the movie was Lorene. Then once I got to New York and the movie, that’s when I got to know Jen. We did a little table read at her apartment. We talked about our lives. I got to know her sister, and her kids and A-Rod were there a lot. Everything felt very normal and down-to-earth.
What I want people to take away is I want these audiences to care about these women. Care about them as people, and not just prejudge them as occupations. Listen, the culture tells boys that they’re worth the size of their bank accounts. And women, that they’re worth their sexuality. No wonder both genders are going to exploit that, and sometimes in ways that aren’t legal.
