Working Girls (1986)
I am a ''John'' myself, this movie is so true to the ''T''
Wel, I stumbled on this movie. Back in 1986, I was a tween, I was too young to see it in the theatres and I don't remember being available in the video stores. I wanted to see it for a long time. I just wished I saw it earlier. I only got to see it this week-end because this movie is so hard to find.
Alright, back to the subject at hand, this movie is so authentic. I am a ''john'' myself. I had confidences from sex workers from in-call agencies. And in this movie, it's the real deal.
I understood why it won best honours at the Sundance Film Festival in 1987 because Lizzie Borden really did her homework.
I used to be a ''john'' who wanted to see the girls outside of their work, when I saw that on the screen, I was like ''oh my god! that used to be me!''.
So this movie deserves a 10 in my book because of its authenticity, it's a good drama, it doesn't fell into sensationalism, it's just real.
I hope Lizzie Borden gets to make more movies because Working Girls (1986) was enjoyable, even though the ''johns'' are supporting characters, I just feel related to the movies because ladies confided to me about those type of situations.
Recommended.
If you expected a soft-core porn, you will be disappointed. Like it has been stated, it has this documentary feel to it.
Kudos to the movie.
