Before reviewing the movie I would like to state that the trailer had me in a chokehold. I was more than excited to see a deep, artistic, intimate and interesting love story in a very unusual (meaning literally one place) setting. After being sceptical in the beginning I was hoping for their connection to initiate and to grow but none of this has happened. It began with you being confused what exactly is going on, slowly getting an idea because all of it, the story, the characters, the mutuality, the MUSIC, the conversations were simply PLAIN. Unseasoned. Boring. Unconventional. I must say a few phrases have being okay, yes, but nothing a movie enthusiast has not seen already 1000 times. I would love to watch the movie through somebody's eyes who SAW and FELT a connection between these two, because they are more optimistic than I am. I generally love movies where everything happens at one place, especially romance dramas, but this one was just disappointing and a bland waste of time.

Great acting through and through by these actors. The film needed none other than the dialogue between the two of them, which started out typical in a movie sense and turned into something REAL. Bravo to the writer and everyone else who got this movie made! A Must See !!!

Is it possible to make a prostitute feel anything or not ? This is the main question. You have money and you want to buy love. Is it possible with a hooker ? The answer is no but the main character doesn't know or maybe he wants to prove otherwise. My rating is low since this scenario is just a fantasy, there is no way anybody will throw money like this at a prostitute. What does the guy wants to prove ? Even if you got money from nothing you just not throw it away like there is no tomorrow. You don't discuss philosophy with a prostitute and try to impress her. Who is doing this things in real word ?

A cerebral cat and mouse game that begs one to probe deeper with beautifully captured imagery and the music is fantastic. Engaging and interesting with really stellar performances, the filmmaker's succeeded in creating a surprising and intimate commentary on life and what we value. I was hooked and intrigued to the end.

I like dialogue based movies because that's what most of us do. We talk to or at each other. We share our thoughts, beliefs and fears. That's what happens here. The movie brings together a successful business man and a woman for hire over the course of a long weekend. Between drinks and intercourse they discuss existentialism, religion, orgasms and morality. The actors are doing a great job in keeping us engaged and the direction is impeccable. I can't tell you more without giving stuff away, so if you like talkies you will love this one.

This film does not feel like an independent film at all. The acting is great, the script is great and the camera work is gorgeous. Lots of mental stuff going on between the characters and you have time enough to absorb what they say and think about it. Totally recommend this.

Pointless story, subpar dialog and acting and totally boring. I've never understood why someone thinks that contemplating his/her navel is riveting cinema for the movie going public.

This movie keeps getting better as it goes. The first 10 minutes of dialogue do now give you an insight into the remining dialogue, as perhaps some viewers thought. I'd also imagine many of the troll ratings with a 1 cane from people who actually love all 99 Fast & Furious movies. Or people who feel a little too much envy, which, granted the world is not fair, has no justice, and never did. But that doesn't mean we can't open our minds to a new perspective that we could add to our own. A simple set up for this movie provides the script writer with all the inspiration they needed, and I am glad it got made. It's a shame that it won't find an audience. The more than people dump on movies like this, the more Marvel crap we will get thrown at our skulls. And less experimentation in film. That's a tragic future for film making.
