I have to admit that I enjoyed this film. It had a stark grit that is lacking in big budget films. I felt that the story of her "descent" and awakening to the power of allure and sexual appetite was well done with the exception of the skipping of large amounts of time. I had the feeling that this was to relay that her descent took time but it also detracted from the feeling of being emotionally connected to her to some degree. It would have been better served if we could have seen the progression from shock to being drunk in the club as well as other progressions. The culmination of her descent provoked many feelings in me: vindication, shock, arousal, ultimately sadness and futility. I gave this a 6 because of the disconnect in the emotional story line but as a story and cautionary tale this movie was right on the mark.
