1976. Grace Bontempo est l'image parfaite de la femme émancipée. Mariée à son associé Charlie, elle dirige le « Love Ranch », la première maison close légale dans l'Etat du Nevada. Excellente tenancière de maison close, elle a depuis longtemps abandonné toute idée de romantisme. Mais sa vie change quand Armando, un jeune boxeur poids lourd arrive au Ranch pour s'entraîner. Un triangle amoureux inattendu se crée, Charlie et Armando vont alors lutter pour la femme qu'ils aiment tous les deux... (texte officiel du distributeur)

Love Ranch initially won me over with a good trailer and the presence of my favourite - English beauty Helen Mirren. But after watching it, I have to say that the film made a very mediocre impression on me, which is a pity, because besides Mirren, Joe Pesci also took his role very well. Somehow I couldn't believe the relationship between Grace and Armand - they didn't have the necessary chemistry. The premise wasn't downright bad, although I've seen countless love triangles in film form - it was the setting of the brothel that pulled it out of the dullness. A film that stands mainly on the performances of Mirren and Pesci, everything else is mediocre

One of those nice films that actually has everything in it - within the bounds of possibility a novel, well acted and directed story set in an unconventional environment, a colorful retro atmosphere, sensational actors, humor, suspense and romance. It was great to see Joe Pesci in a big role again, which he clearly enjoyed, and all credit goes to Helen Mirren, who played the brothel owner with incredible grace and elegance, all while making sure that the relationship that awakens between her and the young boxer is as believable as possible. Not a groundbreaking film, but it is of a high standard. Four and a half.
