TC Candler's Review B+

Ahhh romance...

This is a really sensual film about the needs and wants of two people who can seemingly fill those holes in each other. A dot com millionaire, who wants to love and needs to be loved, finds a girl he thinks is perfect. She is a stripper, who needs to be paid but wants to be loved by someone who doesn't only lust after her. The two of them make an arrangement to go to Vegas for the weekend... he gets her, she gets $10,000... but there are rules. No kissing on the mouth, no talk of feelings, no penetration. Needless to say, the rules are broken and the feelings come flooding out. This is a smart and sexy film about the danger of our needs and wants... I highly recommend this film.

Richard Propes' Comment

I love Wang/July's script, but not necessarily how it's brought to life. Molly Parker received a well-deserved Independent Spirit nomination for her performance here, and Sarsgaard also offers a strong performance. Wang is one of those directors I tend to admire. He refuses to be pigeonholed into making one specific type of film. He's incredibly hit and miss, but I'd take him any day over someone who does only one thing...even if they do it incredibly well.
