(24)Nice idea let down by weak direction
By Alexander_the_Gater (1 review) , 20 May 2013As a fan of 'world' cinema, and Juliette B, I found this film to be far too much soft-porn and not enough depth to the characters. I do NOT blame Binoche. For me, this looks like weak direction and shallow scripting letting the side down. I feel that the sex scenes (which are abundant) do not portray anything other than the imaginative, romantic idea of prostitution, not the reality of it. The Cinematography is beautiful, although never ground-breaking, with repeated use of the same classic portrait-right, background-left composition. Sorry JB, an interesting idea poorly shot. Give it a miss.- Was this review helpful to you?

A great insight into prostitution. Binoche is beautiful.
By a customer , 23 Mar 2013I love Binoche but also wanted to see it as the subject is very close to me and 6 years of my life. I found the prostitutes' insight spot on and not at all far fetched. The line that rang the most true with me is: 'what do you find the hardest?- Lies, lying all the time. Indeed, that was very hard for me.- Was this review helpful to you?

Ho Hum All The Way
By a customer , 11 Mar 2013Juliette Binoche shows herself up by revealing her acting skills to be simply a serious of facial expressions. You may have fallen for it in Certified Copy (I did; and before that I adored her in Three Colours: Blue), but here she's exposed as an empty box of tricks. Supposedly there's this story about a magazine editor writing a story about two young women who prostitue themselves to older men. Somehow this middle aged woman is shocked that there is prostitution in this world. She can't deal with it and neither can I and I fall asleep. Zzzzzzz- Was this review helpful to you?

Fine film
By Ojai_John (1 review) , 10 Feb 2013Forget what others say about it here: this is a fine film. Others have written about not 'liking' this film or its characters. What has that got to do with anything? It's engaging, thought provoking, and much of it is very beautiful to look at. That ought to be enough. This is a film about prostitution after all, not a rom-com and there is not much in it that will make anyone feel good about themselves or about others. But surely there is more to art than just those things?- Was this review helpful to you?

Tedium personified
By a customer , 08 Feb 2013A waste of one's time - I switched off after an hour. Quite unengaging - I had no interest in what happened to these characters.- Was this review helpful to you?
