Filmmaker Anahi Berneri... offers a no-apologies look at a member of a risk-taking underclass dinged on all sides.

4/5

Whatever preconceived notions about sex industry workers that accompany you into the theatre are bound to be shattered, thanks in large part to Ms. Gala's frank and tender performance.

A punchy and entirely unsentimental study of a few days in the life of a young Buenos Aires sex worker that's as defiantly non-miserabilist as its heroine.

Alanis pulls us away from the detached discourse of sex work criminalization by demonstrating what police saviorism looks like in practice in vivid, sensitive, and gut-wrenching detail.

Berneri avoids easy sensationalism and poverty porn even as Alanis and Dante sleep on a clothing store floor, yet this resistance alone does not make a great movie

Alanis is a gorgeous, humanist motion picture, a film that uses rich photography full of texture to paint a portrait of life on the periphery of society.

One of the most "real" movies you will ever experience. No dressing up, dramatization, melodrama or pretentiousness. Just raw reality. Anahi Berneri bravely directed this to a Tee. Whole cast very convincing in character, Sofia Gala in particular. Filled with intense rawness, emotion, intrigue, drama, suspense and a tangible real world feel. Amazing cinematography and very intelligently written. Very captivating and probably perspective-changing
