Review of Lupe

Lupe (I) (2019)
8/10
Touching movie

This is a genuinely independent film, with a delicate approach to a personal drama.

Rafael is a young cuban boy who goes to New York to look for his sister, who was taken there as a teenager to be a prostitute.

He is an talented boxer and uses his skills when he descends into the underworld of prostitution to look for his sister. He gives big beating to pimps that get in his way.

This creates an interesting contrast, because, despite being a strong and very masculine man, he has transgender desires, and dresses up as a woman from time to time.

The film tells the various sides of the story realistically. Worth it.
