It’s sexy, but it avoids the common tropes. It takes the Black woman “jezebel” stereotype and flips a middle finger towards it by jumping head first in this sensual world. And that brazzeness makes for a unique story that you have to see for yourself. Read full review

Jezebel is a reminder that in everyday human stories is proof that the world is wide, and that in going behind the doors that movies rarely open, there are even more worlds worth discovering. Read full review

It’s not straight-up realism; nor is it the usual moralizing, candy-coated melodrama. It’s just very, very good, and the scenes between Tenille and Perrier are very, very easily among the plaintive screen highlights of this new year. Read full review

Dealing with its potentially discomfiting subject matter with sensitivity, insight and humor, the pic marks an auspicious debut for its director-screenwriter, who also plays a supporting role. Read full review

Perrier is an undeniable talent and as a first outing, Jezebel is a powerful statement. Read full review

Mike Scott

A freshly drawn slice-of-life drama inspired by Perrier’s own real-life experiences as an online “cam girl,” it deals with decidedly uncomfortable subject matter — the introduction of a 19-year-old young woman into sex work — but it doesn’t approach any of it with judgment or shame.

This is so perfunctory and edge-free that it plays as incomplete, a movie “talked” into great reviews by hearing the filmmaker’s personal connection to the story. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A former sex worker-turned director glorifying her line of work and gloating her triumph and power in the finale of making a big sale - her “date” that was paid with hundreds of dollars. I wonder how critical reviews would read had the characters’ faces were covered so the story were color blind. The emperor has no clothes no.… Expand
