If the purpose of this movie was to show that sex for pay is demeaning and unappealing, it succeeded. But that seems an unambitious goal. It seems like the relationship between Lea and Hanna should be the main theme to be developed, but we never get a real sense of what the relationship is actually about. How deeply do they care for each other? Why? The movie provides no grounding in their relationship ante, so the effects of their actions land in a vacuum.
There is an interesting scene where the more adventurous of the two declines to engage in a sex act that the less adventurous one is willing to perform. This offers an opportunity to explore their damaged sense of boundaries. . .but the opportunity is squandered. I guess there was a need to proceed to a graphic depiction of the next demeaning job.
I guess I can give it marks for consistency: it ends as shallowly as it begins.
