Mackenzie MacDade Autostraddle Dec 28, 2018
It's clear every actor involved was deeply committed to not just their characters, but to the narrative. Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Nov 17, 2018
"Pimp" is too one-note and grinds its way somewhat drearily to an inevitably bloody conclusion. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Nov 17, 2018
The movie might leave you drained and disgusted, yet it also serves as a reminder that Palmer (whose last notable feature, "Akeelah and the Bee," was 12 years ago) is an unusually intense talent who deserves a much better vehicle than this one. Go to Full Review

A snappy one-note lesbian love story set in the mean Bronx streets, that sells its ass as a sleazy '70s blaxploitation film. Go to Full Review
Louise Keller Urban Cinefile Mar 6, 2019
Sex, murder and dark secrets are the key ingredients of the tale that begins when Sarah (Ella Scott Lynch) meets Lewis (Benedict Samuel) for a potential night of passion. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Nov 30, 2018
Palmer's committed portrayal generates sympathy more than the lurid screenplay, which feels like an inauthentic glimpse into life on the streets. Go to Full Review

Theodore W Jan 18, 2019 great film with a sad love story.. good stuff mate
Poe M Jan 11, 2019 Love Keke Palmer and it's her most grown up role yet. I've actually never heard of female pimps it's usually a male dominated business. But it can be just as messy and dangerous. Wednesday learned to run the business at an early age since her father was in it too and her mother had her in the process. Her father dies when she's a young woman and it's up to her to look out for her girls but she has to be aware of the fierce competition in the streets as well as other street hustlers in the Bronx. Her best friend Nikki goes into business with her but of course love isn't part of the deal. Things do get complicated when emotions are involved plus Wednesday has to care for her drug-abused mother. She proves that no man can take away the power she's worked her whole life for. Maybe we're all pimps in our own way. We struggle to survive and make an honest living. The one thing though we cannot hustle is love. Keke Palmer is amazing here and it shows she has the sass and dramatic weight. See more

George S Dec 29, 2018 Dont expect an Oscar contender here. Just enjoy it for what it is and its a good movie.
Harry M Dec 24, 2018 Horrible representation of Black women. Black Lesbians. You could have done so much better Keke. If I could I'd give it 0 stars. See more
