Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 9/10 by Chris PackhamDirectors Rob Schröder and Gabrielle Provaas capture some un-pretty details of spankings, HJs, and dominance scenarios, but the film is about two old ladies, still cackling despite the sadness that trailed in the wake of the lives into which they were forced.
Toronto Star - 8/10 by Linda BarnardThe doc gives a rare look at the business of plying the world's oldest profession over the past 50 years in the famously tolerant city, but the directors are a bit too hands-off and the narrative wanders.
NYC Movie Guru - 8/10 by Avi OfferAmusing and even liberating to watch, but lacks sufficient insight and revelations. How often do you get to see a doc about elderly prostitutes?
New York Post - 8/10 by Farran Smith NehmeIt's an uneasy tonal mix that wants to have it both ways - this is a difficult way to pay the rent, but look at how charming the Fokkens are.
New York Times - 8/10 by Manohla DargisWhy the sisters felt that prostitution was their best alternative remains unclear, either because they aren't interested in revealing that part of themselves, or the filmmakers didn't know how to get them to talk. Or maybe Ms. Provaas and Mr. Schroder weren't interested, for political or personal reasons, in making what, despite the laughter, they ended up with: another sad story about whores.
The L Magazine - 8/10 by Ela BittencourtA prostitute's sexual freedom is a fiction; though this isn't news, the film confronts the issue with rawness and panache.
Paste Magazine - 7/10 by Emily KirkpatrickDespite the pleasure of spending a little over an hour with these two warm, loving women, Meet the Fokkens often falters as a film.
NPR - 6/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisThe sisters' struggle for autonomy (they opened Amsterdam's only independent brothel until they were forced out by organized crime) reveals a touching commitment to mutual survival.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanWhat we really want is to get to know them. Instead, the film too-aptly reflects life in their line of work: brief interludes rather than intimate soul-baring. That's a shame, since there can't be that many 70-year-old identical twin prostitutes with a 50-year history in the business.
User Review - 10/10 by Nicholas MThis documentary was breathtaking and raw. These women were full of life and vivacity. You can't help but laugh with them and feel their struggles and be inspired. I thoroughly enjoyed this rare insight of the red light district through the eyes of two amazing, ripe, hilarious and exhilarating sisters
