So, 'Mustang: The House That Joe Built' is a fascinating peek into the inner workings of a legal brothel in Nevada. Guralnick doesn’t just dive into the surface stuff; he captures the complexity of the women’s lives and the often challenging choices they make. The pacing feels very raw, almost observational, which gives it a documentarian vibe that pulls you in. The candid interviews are striking, revealing a human side often glossed over in other portrayals. There's a certain grit to the atmosphere, enhanced by the '70s aesthetics that feel authentic. It’s not sensationalized but rather more of a contemplation on autonomy and society’s perceptions. Definitely a distinctive entry in the docu-genre.
