''Stella Does Tricks'' is a 1996 film about a young Glaswegian girl, played by Kelly Macdonald, working as a prostitute in London. The film was the first feature film directed by Coky Giedroyc, inspired her previous work making documentaries about homeless people in Glasgow, Manchester, and London, and provided Macdonald with her first film role after ''Trainspotting''.〔Allon, Yoram; Patterson, Hannah & Hodges, Mike (2001) ''Contemporary British and Irish Film Directors: A Wallflower Critical Guide'', Wallflower Press, ISBN 978-1-903364-21-5, p. 111〕 The film has been described as "an uncompromisingly feminist text, in which the Baby Doll turns Avenger",〔Campbell, Russell (2005) ''Marked Women: Prostitutes and Prostitution in the Cinema'', University of Wisconsin Press, ISBN 978-0-299-21254-4, p. 302-304〕 and by Lawrence van Gelder of the ''New York Times'' as a "bleak, perceptive portrait of the prostitute as a young girl torn between the need for genuine love and a career of sexual exploitation".〔van Gelder, Lawrence (2001) ''Stella Does Tricks'' in ''The New York Times Film Reviews 1999-2000'', Routledge, ISBN 978-0-415-93696-5, p. 230-231〕 Despite the film centering on the lives of female prostitutes, the only nudity in the film is male nudity.〔Leach, Jim (2004) ''British Film'', Cambridge University Press, ISBN 978-0-521-65419-7, p. 142〕 The screenplay was written by the novelist A.
