An audit by a judgmental IRS agent becomes the catalyst for surreal transformation. This serpentine thriller transcends the exploitation genre, as a streetwise ex-stripper turns retribution into redemption. Now managing the strip club owned by her venal spouse, Lily hides the club's illicit activities from the taxman... until her husband takes advantage of an innocent runaway sending Lily down an unforeseeable path. Stripped Down was inspired by the filmmakers' rape/sodomy as a sixteen year-old

"Stripped Down" is bad in so many ways I can't help but feel a slightly tender affection for it.
Lacks the delicate tonal control and subtle smarts required for such an intended half-surreal exercise.
It's a thriller, it's a strip-club soap opera, it's an inner-child reclamation inspirational -- it's really unpleasant to look at.
As a vague film about the long-term psychological repercussions of childhood rape, Stripped Down is most classifiable as art therapy.
I was expecting some sort of thriller and got a really poorly acted drama with absolutely nothing to say.
