The interviews are candid, revealing these women's perspectives on their day-to-day struggles, clients, and the lurking dangers of their trade. The pacing can feel uneven at times, but that just adds to the overall tension. What’s striking is the way it doesn’t glamorize or vilify its subjects but rather presents their reality with a stark honesty.
