I'm struck by just how much this film clashes with other depictions of sex work within cinema. The work being done in Working Girls isn't eroticized in the ways you'd come to expect from films about sex workers. Instead the work here is just a job and it's a boring one at…

kinda perfect! everything clicked during the interaction where one of the men gifts molly the shirt he wore during his last visit. building lopsided emotional connections off of small talk & pleasantries. it feels sincere but impersonal, like all gratitude is transactional.

Working Girls is not a slick and dramatic movie. There are moments that seem forced and amateurish, and the over-all structure of the story is fairly predictable. What the movie does have, though, is the feeling of real life being observed accurately.
