Thought-Provoking

Rating: 7/10 (10 November 2017)

Although the movie has imperfections, it certainly is thought-provoking.
One theme is the sexual exploitation of women by the wealthy and powerful. Another is trust and infidelity within a marriage.
The danger of drug abuse is shown in an early scene, as a young prostitute nearly dies. The danger of working as a prostitute (and the danger of having sex with a prostitute) is revealed, as the roommate tells the doctor that the hooker he hired the night before, but did not have sex with, has just discovered out she's HIV positive.
Something that was unrealistic and inconsistent with an earlier scene was the costume shop owner happily using his underage daughter as a prostitute. This should have been edited out. Another weakness is a too-long conversation between the doctor and his wife, and the overly long and repetitive conversation between the wife and the man she was dancing with.
There are still some important unanswered questions at the end (I will not post a spoiler and say what they are), but the mystery is presented in an intelligent way, unlike in some other movies, and so doesn't annoy the viewer, but instead makes one think.
