Bad Girls Do Cry

About This Movie

So, Bad Girls Do Cry is this gritty slice of 60s underground cinema that really dives into the dark side of the modeling world. The pacing is pretty relentless, with a rawness that leaves you feeling a bit unsettled. The atmosphere, I’d say, is drenched in a sort of grim realism — it’s not glamorized at all, showing the harsh realities faced by the young women. The performances are quite striking, especially from the lead, who embodies a sort of naive vulnerability that makes you feel for her as she spirals into that hellish existence. It’s a film that doesn’t shy away from its themes, tackling exploitation and the loss of innocence in a surprisingly unflinching way. It’s definitely not your standard drama; it has a rough edge that makes it stand out.

Bad Girls Do Cry has seen a bit of a resurgence among collectors, though you'd be hard-pressed to find it in decent condition. Most copies are from the early VHS releases, and those have become somewhat scarce. The film's unique take on the exploitation genre makes it a point of interest for those who appreciate the edgier side of 60s cinema, and while it may not be mainstream, it certainly has a dedicated following among genre enthusiasts.
