I haven't seen it so don't know if the charge of sentimentality is correct (that's certainly a charge that can be levelled against Pretty Woman), but the reviews I've seen and the involvement of real sex workers as actors and consultants in the film suggests its a more honest depiction of that milieu than is usually portrayed in films.

My feelings exactly. A real bargain at £4.99 on Amazon Prime.
