Bucky R @Bucky3085 Apr 13 Love me some KR, but the tone of this movie and the rough performance of the star makes this not very fun to watch. See more Alain E @AlainE Jan 13 Available on Tubi. If you pay attention to the title, you realize that this is no Pretty Woman clone. During the whole duration the protagonist addresses the viewer, a technique that in less capable hands quickly becomes tedious or awkward. Not here. These are observations by a working woman that are almost uniformly on target. Is this a recommended lifestyle? Not really, as the poignant discussion of her son clearly shows. What she has to say though is accurate and interesting. Does it include nudity? Does a film about astronomy shows images of celestial bodies?

It haunted me back then, as I saw a nightmarish look into the life of a streetwalker. Looking at it now almost makes me blush, with how cheesy it is. It suffers from that breaking-the-fourth-wall, beat-poety aesthetic that was soo popular in the 90s. I can't help but laugh at the goofiness of it, as well as it being far too self-serious.

The film is a little rough around the edges, as though the film-makers themselves didn't quite realise the great profundity of the issues upon which they were focussing incidentally.

Not a masterpiece but a brave experiment in telling the truth about the oldest profession in the world, a direct answer to "Pretty Woman." Theresa Russell is the whole show, and she compels and impresses all the time. I'd talk about the plot but there really isn't one. Just a day in the life of a prostitute. Only here she talks directly to the camera (ala Spalding Grey or "Shirley Valentine") to tell us her full story. And it's an interesting, painful, downright sad one. Hunt this down if you can, and don't worry about the NC-17 rating. All instances of nudity and sex serve the story's purpose, nothing exploitative or unnecessary. I guess that's why I'm giving it such a high rating. Truly a lost piece of art. See more Read all reviews
