| Sarah (Diana Agron) and Pepper (Paz de la Huerta) in Bare. |
By Miranda Inganni
Sarah (Diana Agron) is bored townie in a sleepy, desert town in Navada until a seductive drifter enters the picture in Bare.
Freshly fired from her job at the local supermarket, Sarah spends her time hanging out with her friends, making out with her boyfriend, Hayden (Chris Zylka) and trying to decide what to do next. Being a bit invisible to her family, she spends time at her deceased father’s place, where she watches old nature programs on VHS tapes.
Enter Pepper (Paz de la Huerta), a mysterious, sexy, uninhibited woman with a bit of a drug habit. The two unlikely pals quickly hit it off and escape to Reno for a weekend. Pepper exposes Sarah to a whole new world and soon Sarah is exposing herself, having taken to the pole at the local strip club, the Blue Room.
Though Pepper told Sarah that she is a bartender at the club, Sarah soon finds out that Pepper is dealing drugs to the dancers and, more upsetting to Sarah, gets a fee for recruiting new girls. It turns out Pepper has some secrets, too, and a big debt. But the women become more than just friends with drugs.
During an overnight trip out in the desert, the ladies take peyote and spend the night hallucinating and having sex. Sarah discovers a new world and a new side of herself: sensuality.
Both Agron and de la Huerta perform admirably, even if their characters are familiar. Writer-director Natalia Leite's Bare has that cliché of a good, quiet girl going rogue after her sexual awakening, but she also does a commendable job depicting Sarah’s boredom in her boring town with all the boring people around her.
