Great acting, fascinating portrayal of breakdown, 4 July 1999
8/10
Author: Alan Jacobs (ajacobs@nyc.rr.com) from Greenwich Village, NY

This movie goes nowhere, but is endlessly fascinating getting there. Theresa Randle plays an actress trying to get a part who is _not_ willing to do anything. But when the opportunity comes to make money by fulfilling sexual fantasies on the phone, she takes to it with relish. She then slowly breaks down, no longer able to stand her own pain and loneliness and longing. This is partly comedy, partly drama, and thoroughly well-acting, with mesmerizing directorial touches.
