first thing I thought of too.
"I wasn't conscious. It's like cyberspace, but blank. Silver. It smells like rain. . . You can see yourself orgasm, it's like a little nova right out on the rim of space. But I was starting to
remember. Like dreams, you know. And they didn't tell me. They switched the software and started renting to specialty markets." She seemed to speak from a distance.
"And I knew, but I kept quiet about it. I needed the money. The dreams got worse and worse, and I'd tell myself that at least some of them were just dreams, but by then I'd started to figure that the boss had a whole little clientele going for me. Nothing's too good for Molly, the boss says, and gives me this shiat raise." She shook her head. "That prick was charging eight times what he was paying me, and he thought I didn't know."

I'm really not seeing the faux rage here. This is PR for an indie movie, one that barely anyone will get to see because it will probably be slapped with an NC-17 or X rating. Who cares?

Why would anyone wanna watch that?
Prostitutes are for entertainment - they are not entertaining characters. Whores lack character - otherwise they wouldnt be whores. If i wanted to watch unprincipled peoples acting evil then would go buy some meth like an ordinary person.
Being a shiatty person in a shiatty life does not make for quality entertainment.

Seriously? Many of the most entertaining books, TV shows and movies are about shiatty people with shiatty lives. Look at most of Scorsese's movies (I'd have said all before Hugo came along), all of Tarantino's stuff, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones... I could go on. shiatty people with shiatty lives is a hotbed for drama and often painful human emotion. Great story fodder.

I'd be all for a conscious and eager Emily Browning as well, but unconscious with purchased consent will do. In either case she'd be warm. I have my kinks, but corpses, real or fake, are not among them.

Ahh yes -- but these usually have a character the reader or viewer can identify with or enjoy.
College girl has cruddy uninteresting life
College girl gets job that is advertized as "non-penetrative"
College girl acts like she might be mentally ill
College girl gets molested.
WHAR IS THE CONFLUICT!
Watching a dirtbag act like a dirtbag is entertaining for all of 15 minutes. Then the tired and predictable flow of consequences starts to pile up and not one ounce of it is surprising... If you cant see how the life you have now is tied atleast a bit to the way your acting in life then why on earth would i care about your story? I might as well just watch death footage online.
I will agree that there is nothing wrong with a skeezy character, or some sort of antihero... But this movie seems reminds me of that KITH sketch where they only wrote the middle of a scene.

Had a buddy that managed a movie theater back in the day, and they decided to have a mock old time westy gun battle to promote Wild Wild West. Didn't tell any of the public, just suddenly you're in the lobby and it sounds like 2 guys are just gunning for each other. They were dressed the part but in that situtation no one cared to look (obviously). Ended up have a massive stampede as the theaters & the lobby cleared out. I'm still shocked to this day that no one got seriously hurt. Some higher ups in coporate got fired, and the theater company got sued for some decent amounts.

Watched the movie because the trailer genuinely made it look like an interesting tale. Dull dull dull dull dull.
I'm not usually a movie critic, but...
There's little in the way of storyline, and nothing in the way of character development. It seems more like a tepid unrelated and unexplained series of vignettes about the character's life with this 'Sleeping Beauty' thing supposedly used to thread them together in no meaningful way.
No one appears to have much in the way of an emotion throughout the whole thing. You don't learn enough about her to give one single flying crap about it all. She proposes to her ex-boyfriend, but since you know nothing about their relationship, it means nothing. He's angry(-ish in a dull way) but you've no idea why. A friend dies apparently of alcoholism but there's no context so again it's meaningless and emotionless. Apparently she and her flatmates don't get on but it's impossible to know why and so you just don't care. Her mum keeps borrowing money for her and calls her at work. Why do we care? We don't. That's the only thing you ever find out about their relationship.
The trailer leads you to believe that some sort of personal or societal epiphany might happen at some point but literally nothing happens at all. Actually the first time something does happen, the movie ends.
And, for those intending to watch it to get off to Emily Browning; she's never naked. They make up an excuse for her to wear far more clothing than any of the other 'staff' involved. And the staff you do get to see naked are not, I'm sorry to tell you, stripper-hot. They're fairly dowdy. They look like actual normal people, which is a nice change, but it will be unlikely to get the porn addicts at fark excited.
If you do feel you must watch it, I don't recommend you pay for it or you'll just feel ripped off.
