Everything's Better than a Hooker is a hard-hitting documentary directed by Ovidie that dives deep into the heartbreaking story of Eva-Marree. The film carefully reconstructs her tragic life, stripped of her children due to her past in prostitution, only to be met with a grim fate at the hands of their father. Ovidie's sharp lens captures the rawness of her situation, creating a tense atmosphere that leaves you questioning societal structures. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the weight of each moment to sink in. What stands out is the way it critiques the supposed safety net of the Swedish welfare system, revealing the darker underbelly of protective measures that fail those who need it most. It's an unsettling watch, but that’s what makes it compelling.
