Do you have to like a movie to admire it? That’s the challenge of sitting through The Slut: The story is deeply disturbing and difficult to sit through, but the art involved in bringing it to the screen is so undeniably powerful that you can’t stop watching. Written/directed and starring Hagar Ben-Asher, the film tells the story of a single mom named Tamar (Asher) trying to make a life for her family on a desolate chicken farm. Tamar has a unique barter system set up among the men of the neighborhood where she offers certain sexual favors in exchange for help around the farm and although it’s an unusual system, it seems mutually beneficial to everybody. That is until a man from Tamar’s past returns to the village and the spark they once shared is rekindled. Will Tamar remain faithful to man or will she continue to see the other men in the village? What will happen if the man find out? The film answers those questions in dark and disturbing ways that will shock most viewers.
