Mildly interesting, but lacks focus.
Set in Sydney, Australia, the story of Linh, a Vietnamese- Australian. By day she is studying at University, by night she is a prostitute/escort. Shows her friends, family and relationships and how her work affects these (or doesn't, to the best of her ability).
This is not new territory, the prostitutes-are-everyday-people storyline. However, it is warmly and sincerely told, without fake sentimentality, manipulation or glamourising the subject.
Where the movie does fall over, however, is that it doesn't really have a point. It drifts throughout, though is never dull. Towards the end, what focus it had is thrown away in a series of contrived, implausible or simply random scenes.
This is all a pity, as the plot was reasonably engaging until then.
Solid performance by Nammi Le in the lead role. Supporting cast are mostly not that convincing, however.
