Sex work is work. Let’s get that out of the way right off the bat. Society has traditionally looked down on sex work, and in particular sex workers, for various reasons rooted in dubious morality (and religion), but the fact remains that sex work is work, and sex workers are deserving of respect and dignity. They are, after all, human beings. This is the worldview – which is the correct one, at least according to this critic – that Andrea Werhun advocates for in Modern Whore. This new documentary from Werhun and director Nicole Bazuin seems to break open doors and give viewers an entertaining and enlightening look inside the world of sex work, and the film is entirely successful thanks to fun staging and Werhun’s engaging screen presence.
