That’s the simplified version, of course. Who does that? Grace (Samara Weaving) does that! The film follows Grace, who marries into an obscenely rich family that happens to perform rituals to stay rich. She absolutely kicks ass, screams like there’s no tomorrow, and does it all in her wedding dress. Rich people and the lengths they’ll go to maintain their status! In this horror-comedy, Samara Weaving is the modern final girl of our dreams. Ready or Not (2019) (Searchlight Pictures) Brewer’s performance is absolutely perfect and she really makes you care what’s happening to her character. The plot follows camgirl Alice/Lola (Madeline Brewer) whose account is hijacked by a clone of her. Knowing that Issa Mazzei, who wrote the screenplay, was a camgirl before absolutely contributes to why the film works. It also tackles how nefarious the internet can be. The ways in which sex workers are treated as disposable is partially what this movie is about. Thankfully Cam (2018) seems to touch upon the world of camming, the misconceptions, the dangers that sex workers often face, and the empowerment. There isn’t always that needed education on sex work, sex workers, or anything surrounding it. Depicting sex work in film is very touch and go.
