In a 2016 Vanity Fair article, Nancy Jo Sales wrote about prostitution going mainstream, describing a new economy of young people selling their bodies to pay off student loans or just to get by in the tough economic climate. On the same theme, Ben Hozie makes his feature debut with this semi-insightful, uncomfortably funny indie drama about a man who becomes obsessed with an online sex worker. Itâs a film with a slackerish mumblecore vibe, and Hozie is refreshingly grown up about sex. But itâs hard to see how his film adds much to the conversation about intimacy in the internet age.
