Wiki link goes elsewhere. But when I read the summary above it sounded a lot like Hotel Coolgardie. So I looked up the RH wiki article; yup, inspired by that doc.

Color me embarassed. Link has been corrected. The responsible LinkMonkey(s)™ will be severely reprimanded!

Afterthought EDIT: thanks for bringing that to my attention. I was wondering if anybody was clicking any of the links.

I was thinking exactly the same! But couldn't remember the name of it, so my thoughts were along the lines of "Wasn't this a documentary? Wasn't this released earlier then 2023? Pretty sure the girls involved were from northern Europe?

Have a feeling that Hotel Coolgardie will actually be much more interesting viewing to many of the target audience of this new movie. So many uncomfortable and semi-surreal moments. Available on Prime in Australia, so possibly is also on US Prime, for those interested.
