Under the title "Student Services", I watched this film, not realizing it was a made-for-TV-movie based upon a true story.
The actress who portrays the main character, Laura, acquits herself fine. She plays a college student who has trouble paying her bills, so she turns to adult on-line ads to find meet men who will pay her for sexual favors.
The film is not erotic. Laura, for the most part, detests what she does.
The film may have been designed to put forth a political point of view--that too many students have financial problems, so they turn to illegal activities. Someone who lives in France might understand a political solution to this French problem, but others probably will not.
It is certainly no documentary. And it does not try to be.
As a drama, it offers little that is new to the genre, and Laura's path is marked by detours and confusing behavior, defusing the drama.
