Back Alley

About This Movie

Alright, so 'Back Alley' is this gritty little gem from 2014. The film delves into the life of Suzanne, a seasoned prostitute who's carved out her own little world in the streets. It's raw, and there’s a palpable sense of tension as new faces—these young African prostitutes—enter her territory. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the audience to feel the weight of Suzanne’s struggles and the threat looming over her. The performances are pretty striking; you can see the layers of survival and vulnerability in her character. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, which really drives home the themes of loss and displacement. It’s not flashy, but it packs a punch with its realism and emotional depth.
