The film is based on a series of tweets by an American stripper, A’Ziah King, during a trip to Florida in 2015. The story was taken up by David Kushner in Zola Tells All: The Real Story Behind the Greatest Stripper Saga Ever Tweeted". And that’s the story this film tells – but more…

We are introduced to Zola, played by Taylour Paige, who befriends Stefanie, Riley Keough, who persuades her to come on the stripper trip. In the film, Zola is quite a puzzling character, sometimes highly intelligent, thoughtful and observant, at other times quite ditzy, seemingly helpless. And, it is something the same with Stefanie, though intelligence is not her forte. She is prepared to be used. And, while there is some stripping during the trip, it is really a story about prostitutes, detailed sequences with clients, shrewd marketing online, a range of clients willing to pay.

But, with the women, is their pimp, obnoxious to them and certainly obnoxious to the audience, violent, misogynistic, no advertisement for the profession of pimp. Also on the trio is Stephanie’s gangly boyfriend, Derrek, at one point his own acknowledging that he is rather stupid, on the outer, then befriending some locals who turn out to be violent thugs.

Some audiences have found the film a hoot, rather funny. While on the other hand, some have found the themes and the treatment of the women quite serious. So,@Zola, and whether you would like to see it or bypass.
