Jezebel is a film that is not judgemental or even takes a affiliate with its protagonist, in fact , you empathize with young Tiffany, even though she’ s producing a myriad of bad decisions.
Tiffany is seeking out something she’ s shed over the years and fills that void connecting with confidential men on the internet. She’ s also someone who desires to prove her worth and value in spite of the circumstances that surround her — moving into a small studio with her siblings and Sabrina’ h boyfriend. Sabrina also enables her sister to make her own missteps and doesn’ t scold her for doing this.
