Although Florence and Richard in theory could change the terms of their relationship, their inner feelings and biases restrict them to what is possible within their own way of thinking. The film follows a rigorous script that dwells deeply into the wants and flaws of the two leads and ultimately tells us that we are limited by our own minds as to the possibilities that life might offer. This is an accomplished psychological piece a-la-Bergman that never betrays its characters by providing an easy way out.

I passed on this film while in the theaters due to bad reviews and a highly misleading ad campaign. Reviewed by heather1252 9 / 10 / 10 Much better than it seems But those who can brave that and the graininess will be rewarded with a contemporary look at love in our times. And there's no simple message or tying up of loose ends here. The lack of a discernable narrative in some of the scenes risks losing the viewer's attention.

However, this movie is not everybody's cup of tea. And the dialogue is very boy-girl-next-door rather than being made up of grand lines. The soundtrack is eclectic and follows the local Californian club scene rather than big label network music.

Mention must be made of the attention to detail which makes the setting very believable. Although they go into into the deal for purely selfish reasons - he desiring an escape from Internet porn and she looking for some extra cash - their encounter, like all good stories, becomes something of a journey of self-discovery. Sex becomes the center of their world but even as they escape into sex they cannot quite leave their personalities, their dreams, their insecurities behind and that is what ultimately saves them and their story from the mundaneness of a forgettable sexual encounter. In this, one can discern shades of Last Tango in Paris, except that this movie is set in a more cynical time where love has been deconstructed and is not worth killing for. Equally clichГ©-free is the screenplay which follows a loosely linear narrative advanced primarily by the sexual encounters between a man and a woman who are placed in the near-equivalent situation of a desert island and come from different worlds. The graininess of the Blair Witch style digital camera coupled with innovative shots including unexpected close-ups follow no clichГ©s. And in that he has been quite successful. It almost seems as if Wang has taken the Hollywood classic Pretty Woman and has decided to deHollywoodize it. Molly Parker is equally convincing as the drummer-by-day-stripper-by-night career woman who has such a cool and invincible air about her that it makes quite an impact in the few occasions when she does let her armor down. He's got it down even to the careless dressing and awkward laugh. The man is a socially inept but financially successful engineer so typical of our times and his character is developed and portrayed very realistically by Peter Saarsgard in a role very different from what he played in Boys Don't Cry. He simplifies the problem by choosing two people with very little in common and then taking them out of their natural settings and putting them in the unreal world of Las Vegas.
