Movie Reviews of Working Girls (Widescreen)
Movie Review: Telling a Story of a Day in Three Lives
Summary: 5 Stars
A 1986 independent film which won a Special Jury Prize the following year at the Sundance Film Festival, was written, directed, produced and edited by Lizzie Borden and centers on three women who are working in a Manhattan brothel.
With a documentary feel to chronicling a day in their lives, the main characters are a struggling Yale graduate, a college student who has dreams of becoming a lawyer and one who is trying to accumulate enough money to start a business.
What is captivating about the movie is Borden's story-telling technique; the women are as much psychologists and mothers to the men, but the danger is real when they cannot control every moment of an encounter.
Based on a number of interviews with women and research which spanned six months, Borden presents a real portrayal of a profession which conjures up instantaneous opinions, which may be totally inaccurate.
