Ho-hum. Yet another movie goes looking for wisdom and insight in a strip club, and yet another movie fails to find them.

This one, written and directed by Natalia Leite, is called “Bare.” Its focus is Sarah (Dianna Agron of “Glee”), a young woman who still lives with her parents, is bored by her boyfriend and has a job in some sort of quick-stop grocery. That last one is, of course, movie shorthand for “I’m living an unfulfilled life and have overwhelming potential and equally overwhelming wanderlust.”

And that’s all we learn about Sarah before she meets Pepper (Paz de la Huerta), a wreck of a woman who is a drug connection for dancers at a strip club. Pepper can’t string two coherent sentences together, but Sarah apparently finds this alluring and sophisticated, and soon she is on the pole herself. Pepper introduces her to drugs and to something else that she never got from that drab boyfriend.

This is supposed to be a film about female bonding and empowering self-discovery, and if you buy the notion that stripping is somehow empowering, it is. But the Sarah character isn’t developed well enough to make her journey enlightening or involving. She basically travels the arc you expect she will, and you neither know nor care whether she’s a smarter, better person for having done so.
