So where does this film sit. A film about a straight A student who follows the path to becoming a madam. I would like to say that its hanging there somewhere between say "Wish You Were Here", "Wilby Wonderful", "Passionflower Hotel", "Risky Business" and a few others of that ilk, but not quite on par with them. It has an indy feel, but quite polished overall. It does the dance between lightweight and oppressive drama, you start in, like the girls, thinking it will be a little light entertainment, but then the darker realities come to the fore.
Adequate film filled a 90 minute slot in my evening. Probably more deserves the 3.6 stars at Amazon then the 5.9/10 from IMDb, which matches the 3 star rating at Netflix.
On a plus side, Katherine Waterston did a good job in the lead role, I could probably stand to watch her in other films.
