Female writer-director Leite has an interesting future. In "Bare" she stuck to the rules and never showed the girls fully nude or exposing their genitals. The heroine (Donna Agron) sniffed a powder, but apparently never sold her body to one of the revolting clients of her den-of-sin club. She preferred to romp in the desert with her bad-girl friend Pepper (La Huaz) who shares a small amount of peyote with her and ravishes her young body afterwards. We've seen Donna shagging in the car with her boyfriend, with no back-arching of the sort Pepper instigates. But eventually the two separate, and Donna goes home and hugs her mother and makes up with her boy-friend. Showing off her assets in a sex club and sniffing powders has caused her to grow up. A nice film, worth seeing.

Although the people around her seem to be in control of their lives, thus knowing best; no one there is even close to noticing what is really going on right in front of them; yet the main character breaks these bounds. Judging anything, to include this movie one should be careful not to fall into the same trap as the majority of the people in script, because everything is valid, and we must look deep inside where we are not comfortable and see the real beauty in front of us.Dianna Argon played her role in this movie wonderfully, always in tune with what I believe the director had intended. A promising career no doubt.
... View MoreLoved this movie! It is so awesome to see a female director making a movie with such strong, complex female characters. Dianna Agron and Paz de la Huerta played off each other beautifully and it was great to see Agron play a role so different from her typical "good girl" role and do it so well. I love the way Natalia Leite, in both "Bare" and "Be Here Nowish," doesn't make sweeping statements about queerness or feminism, but just portrays them as they are. This movie will make you question all of your preconceived notions about drugs, promiscuity and strip clubs. I loved the whole thing from start to finish! Can't wait to see it again.
