Ted B 4.0 stars; The primary purpose of film is to tell a story. When the story is as sad and depressing as this one, it takes excellent acting to take the audience down that spiral. That's exactly what we got with this movie. Nicolas Cage (Academy Award for Best Actor) and Elizabeth Shue were superb. Nicolas Cage has never come close to this performance since in my opinion. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, o filme tem cenas fracas, a história é mais ou menos, o elenco é bacana, mas quase ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, e os personagens são mais ou menos.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Kevin P A harrowing heartbreaking movie about alcoholism and prostitution and the two people wrapped up in both trying to share some genuine human connection before their broken lives take them further down the river. It is not for the faint of heart (especially near the end), but it’s an interesting character study for Nicholas Cage’s character and you really feel for the character Sera. She serves as such a great contrast to Nicholas Cage, where he’s lost all hope and has accepted his “path” as he continues to plunge, while she retains hope for a better future and finds a genuinely endearing romance with him where she knows it won’t last long, but goes for it anyway since she has no one else in her life she can confide to. The lead performances are fantastic with great chemistry and tragedy with its themes of co-dependency. Some of her scenes are really hard to watch, which can be debated on the movie’s sensitivity in portraying the disturbing SA subject matter. I certainly wish they spent more time dwelling on the aftermath and healing process. But I’d argue it still balances it enough by showcasing the cruelties escorts have to endure and how little sympathy they receive from society, while also giving her a hopeful ending with her multiple interviews in therapy, as well as her new apartment, subtle rejection of her leering clients, and final goodbye with Nicholas Cage’s character. Despite the heavy subject matter, the movie has a very lovely comforting jazzy soundtrack and a very colorful visual flair. It’s a very gripping drama about addiction and loneliness and one that can only be stomached once in a blue moon. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
