monelleanti The flick in and of itself was OK, pretty good. Entertaining, informative. Its basically about legalized prostitution thanks to The Doctor Psychologist, whom in this case was an intern's pimp and the intern got what, was of course, to be expected. I'm sure a true pro (a sex worker/prostitute) would find this movie fairly predicable--- "rote"--- somewhat amusing.The direction of this flick was killer. Cut-up, yet linear. Not too far out. The acting perfect. Also, I don't think there was an opinion expressed by the director--- unless its what I got out of the movie--- which makes it subversive. Nice.Can't remember much of the soundtrack, other than dialog, sounds of the environment etc.. When songs and music tend to be too remembered--- the flick itself probably minor. This flick kept it naked--- any music strictly incidental--- oh yeah, there was one cool scene where the intern wanna be seducer, did turn up some sound device playing New Order type corny disco (the song had great lyrics, I always keep subtitles on), with an am radio quality--- very nice. By the way The intern's personal life seemed to have been a bit "weird" (whose isn't really). Kind of funny. Mother dead found in a ditch, hit and run or something? Brother probably needed sex therapy (not from the intern, but from her mentor--- an older chick;Oh wait. Was that guy her brother? Did she return to him? Check this flick out. Dang nice.

felix9-546-569639 This is my first review. When I saw the movie, I knew I had to write one.I love the movie. It is one of a kind.I like the subject. The movie uses as a subject a profession that I have never heard of. It is a controversial profession and the movie displays it in a very professional and well researched almost neutral way. So we are of to a good start.I was enthralled by the neutrality of the movie. You watch it and it feels as though you are actually watching the scenes live. You are standing somewhere in the corner of the room and are surveying the scene. It is fascinating how this movie is able to overcome the wall between itself and the viewer. The realism of the scenes is just fascinating. I suppose this is due to the great acting and the camera work. But I could not pinpoint it anywhere. The pieces just seem to fit together in this one.To avoid spoilers I will not go into detail. I hope you get a chance to watch this movie and enjoy it as much as I did.

Marc The movie was sort of interesting and could have been decent however it was ruined by an extremely poor ending. Actually you can't even call it an ending. The movie had no point at all what so ever. I don't understand why the movie was not completed better. It had potential and they seriously dropped the ball. The whole movie you think a few different things may happen however, they never do! Everything you think interesting might happen, well it just doesn't. I really just want the hour and a half of my life back that has been now eternally lost!!!! I'm sure most people will expect more out of even a low budget movie such as this. Watch it and see for yourself. Once you lose your hour and a half of your life you too will understand!!!!By the way this is my first review ever. I just had to warn the world of this poor movie script!!!!

Turfseer I must confess that I'm quite on the fence regarding neophyte director Anja Marqurdt's debut film, "She's Lost Control." I suspect in part she was aiming for some kind of suspense thriller but ends up more with a psychological portrait of a lonely New York Master's Degree candidate in psychology who also happens to work as a sexual surrogate. The protagonist is Ronah (Brooke Bloom) who is supervised by a licensed therapist, Dr. Cassidy. Ronah and Cassidy appear to be quite ethical in dealings with patients but there's something a little cold and controlling about both of them.Marqurdt attempts to flesh out Ronah by chronicling her life outside her work as a sexual surrogate. It appears that Ronah is not very helpful with her brother who is dealing with their senile mother upstate. She also has been taking hormone injections so she can freeze her eggs, hoping that one day she can have children. What's more a leak in her bathroom leads to trouble from a downstairs neighbor, who eventually names her as a party in a lawsuit. The dour Ronah also maintains a stiff upper lip even as she is receiving mysterious calls from a possible stalker.Ronah is not quite a sad sack and the controlling nature of her personality is perhaps a cautionary tale for any "professional" who takes their job a little too seriously. Ronah makes it clear that she won't give up on her introverted patient, Johnny, who appears to be a difficult nut to crack. Johnny, an anesthesiologist assistant, refuses to cooperate for the most part in the beginning of the therapy sessions. Meanwhile, Ronah's relationships with a few other patients, appear to be going normally.We do get an idea that something's not exactly cool with Johnny but it's not until the end when he becomes violent. The problem is that Ronah's patient maneuvers to attempt to get Johnny to open up, drag on and the pacing of the film slows down considerably. There just aren't enough twists and turns in the plot (except for Johnny's meltdown), that will keep an audience interested for an entire movie.What exactly is Ms. Marqurdt trying to say about Ronah at the end of her journey? Are we supposed to have sympathy for her because she's the victim of a sexual assault? Was it partially her fault because she ignored the signs that something malevolent was about to befall her? Was her "controlling" nature the reason why she ended up as such a lonely character? The ambiguous ending feels unsatisfying and perhaps next time this newbie director will be more explicit in tidying up her denouement.
