What a mess
What a mess of a movie. Plot, what there is, is all over the place. Bereft of plot the director then dimly lights each scene to make the film seem more arty. All this does is make it more confusing. If this was meant as a skin flick, the dim lighting doesn't help that aim.
Nothing good about this. Avoid.

The brothel that will lull you to sleep...
As much as I tried, then I just couldn't get into this movie. There was just something profoundly offsetting and boring about the whole setup.
The storyline told in "Brothel", as written by Amy Waddell - whom also directed this 2008 movie - was just one that never sank its hooks into me. I wanted to watch the movie and get into it, but I just couldn't. The storyline just failed to entertain me, and I found nothing enjoyable in the movie.
"Brothel" was just not constructed in a way or manner that made much sense for me, in terms of storytelling and narrative building. As such, the storyline just felt cluttered and it felt like director Amy Waddell was just fumbling about in the dark.
And even with a cast that included the likes of Bruce Payne, Grace Zabriskie, Brett Cullen and Serena Scott Thomas, then the movie just failed to capture my interest.
I found "Brothel" to be a very slow-paced movie, and it took away even further from the enjoyment that wasn't there to begin with.
Needless to say that this movie is not one that I would recommend, nor one that I would ever return to watch for a second time. In fact, now in 2021 as I sat down to watch it, it was my first - and last - time to get acquainted with Amy Waddell's 2008 movie.
My rating of "Brothel" lands on a two out of ten stars. This was a massive swing and a miss of a movie.
