Major Themes – Glamour Girls (2022)

Explore the central themes of Glamour Girls (2022), from psychological, social, and emotional dimensions to philosophical messages. Understand what the film is really saying beneath the surface.

🎭 Power & Control

Power and control underpin relationships across the film's orbit of clients, bosses, and carers. Donna wields influence over her recruitment pipeline, Segun asserts authority over Emma's career, and Zeribe uses manipulation to bend Emma to his will. Wealth and status create a rigid hierarchy where vulnerability is exploited for profit. The cycle of dominance and submission exposes how power can corrupt and corrupts those who chase it.

💔 Betrayal

Conflicting loyalties fracture friendships and alliances. Zeribe frames Emma, and Jemma murders Alexander to protect her own interests, showing how far people will go for survival. The murder and the disappearance of a money drive reveal a web of deceit that nobody can trust. Even Donna's trusted circle participates in betrayals, culminating in duplicity around the money and the drive.

🕵️‍♀️ Secrets & Lies

Characters live double lives: Emma's escort work, Louisa's hidden relationship, and Donna's management of a covert network. The pursuit of money and status forces secrecy, including the lie about personal lives and the forged drive. The film portrays how secrets accumulate until they threaten everyone. The ending twist—Donna's own duplication of the drive—puts into question who is truly in control.
