I tend to respond well to a lot of indie films, in fact a lot of the stuff I write is in the vein of indie / art house material, but man oh man what a disappointment. I am SOOOOOO sick of the fake documentary angle, enough already !!!!! But apparently people keep peeing in their pants over that kind of stuff.
And those endless, static long shots in darkly lit settings, I thought I was going to go out of my mind with boredom. If you're going to have long shots of people talking and not moving, from so far away that you can't even see them, you sure as hell had better make that conversation interesting.
And for a supposedly sophisticated call girl, oh my lord, that woman had nothing to say. I remember reading an article ages ago about one of the most famous Madames in Paris, Madame Claude, I think, and her escorts had graduate degrees and could hold intelligent conversations with heads of state clients and accompagny them to important social events.
I get that the film was about more than that, but still, BOOOORING.
Luckily I also rented Zombieland tonight
ETA: I wasn't able to watch the film all the way to the end. Hopefully she gets murdered or something.
