I have to admit that the only reason I had an interest to see this movie was because of Ellen McElduff, who plays Lucy, because I wanted to see her in something else. I had a completely different expectation from this movie, but I wasn't disappointed. This being a low budget 80s movie seemed very "worn", but I loved it. The music was cool to listen to.
Aside from that, I was appalled by how respectable young women would want to subject themselves to a job so grueling and rough. Especially because Molly is college educated and could easily work to get in to a good job. I guess you do what you have to do. This film was so real, my jaw dropped with certain scenes. I didn't expect to see so many older men show up, and I felt for the girls having to "satisfy" them. When Lucy kept wanting Molly to stay for an extra hour and then another extra hour, I felt so horrible for her, as she looked so fed up. Some of the clients and the scenes with them were especially disturbing. I really liked the end when Molly turned her back on the business and left Lucy without a solid regular. I also thought that having the film start and end with Molly and her girlfriend sleeping in bed (coming full circle) was genius.
Ellen McElduff did a great job as Lucy. I can't see how Ellen never received more leading roles. She played Lucy so well and played a B**CH perfectly. A perfect example of a boss you can hate.
Overall, an unexpected gem. (9 out of 10)
