1. Quality

2. Summary

   OK 2.5

   A erudite look at the life of a high priced call girl. The topic is catching, and although the narrative is subdued, it does manage to entertain. The price points were high, but life can still be stressful on the streets.

4. Acting

   Barely OK 2.0

   Sasha Gray is the draw, and she delivers her performance in a very direct way; more akin to an engineer or an accountant than what you would think of for a call girl.

5. Male Stars Barely OK 2.0

6. Female Stars Barely OK 2.0

7. Female Costars Barely OK 2.0

8. Male Costars Barely OK 2.0

10. Film

    OK 2.5

    Soderbergh produced this 77minute treatise on a budget. I can’t say it was a disappointment, but the shortened movie time was a good thing. I did like the interview/monologue style that was interspersed with more classic shooting.
