09/22/2012 A terrific film that deserves to be seen. See more 05/26/2012 A very bleak movie centering around a high-class call girl. Stylistically it's very similar to "Clean, Shaven" (director's previous effort). While it has a few moments of brilliance, as a whole the style doesn't quite work for this movie. Perhaps it needs a bit more of a background story or character development, as the characters are so distant and unlikeable it's hard to sympathize with or care for them. See more 01/08/2010 Booooooooooooooooring See more 04/24/2009 Another brilliant character study from Kerrigan. He demonstrates a surprising amount of maturity for what is only his second film. The writing is assured in that, it is what is NOT said, that keeps us intrigued. The lack of feeling permeates each scene. Bresson is a huge inlfuence. Visual storytelling at its most precise and detached. Katrin Cartlidge gives us one of the finest performances of the decade. Thankfully, her final images on screen are heartwarming and moving. It's the strength of Lodge's first two films that helped give him international acclaim. It's not surprising that shortly thereafter Soderbergh would be giving him a call... See more 04/22/2009 one of those movies that sticks with you for a while after viewing. cartlidge is great and d'onofrio is surprisingly kinda decked in a ruffalo way. See more 02/21/2009 In spite of Cartlidge's impressive performance in the lead, the film devotes so much of its energy to building and sustaining a mood of urban desolation that the story never quite jells.
