Having been a fan of Dame Helen's for quite a while i have come to learn that if her name is on it ,chances are it's gonna be good,but this was something else !!!!
By all accounts this movie has ,what i consider to be a winning formula : Brilliant actors + an amazing director + a beautiful story ,to me this equals a high quality piece of film,but it doesn't seem to have been recognised as such!!
I think it deserved much more than the limited release it got and i ,for one will be buying a few copies of this and recommending it to anyone that will listen !!!!!
If you haven't seen it yet ,i implore you to buy it and give it a go,you WILL NOT regret it :)

What a brave choice for Helen Mirren! This couldn't be more contrary to her role as The Queen or most other roles opted for by actresses of her generation but she pulls it off with splendor and ease as always, showing just how amazing and versatile an actress she is. The story is unconvential, which makes this an even more interesting choice for her and the end result is raw, emotional and gripping... I cried loads!

The year is 1976, and Grace and Charlie Bontempo operate a legal brothel in Reno. Ever the hustler, Charlie buys an up-and-coming boxer from Argentina whom Grace at first dislikes, but later comes to love.
The movie, based on a true story, is tawdry and unpleasant, loaded with profanity and so tedious it was hard to finish. Helen Mirren looks like she hates being in every scene and her innate dignity doesn't fit the low-life character she plays. As her husband, Joe Pesci is repulsive and hard to watch while Sergio Peris-Mencheta lacked charisma as the boxer.
The whole story seems as dry and dull as the Reno desert landscape. The movie isn't entertaining, it's just a boring story about unsympathetic losers.
