Zola (dir. Janicza Bravo).

Zola doesn’t quite live up to the manic must-read entertainment of [A’Ziah “Zola”] King’s series of posts recounting the dangers of illicit sex work, but it meshes enough elements of crime cinema with a darkly comedic edge to make the seedy but bubblegum-coloured tale of sex trafficking more palatable. It’s another welcome high-class account of otherwise seemingly lowbrow material.
