Featured reviews
Some films bill themselves as exactly what they are. And I have no problem with that.
This implies itself to be something other than it is. You expect, at best, The Girlfriend Experience, at worst Student Services, and at the absolute bottom either Pretty Woman or 50 Shades.
What you get is neither.
What you get is a horrible script made worse by bad actors.
Maybe it billed itself so deceivingly in an effort to divert expectations. Maybe they did it because they knew they had a bad film.
In either case, this film assumed it was better than it was and didn't have the talent behind it to allow for an annoyingly pretentious delivery.
What you have here is a film that thinks it is deep and poignant, but is really just gutter trash putting on the airs of high society.

Great acting and a great script made this film into something special. One of those films were you walk out after watching it and you feel you really got your moneys worth. It reminds me of Hunter Richards film London with Jason Statham and Jessica Biel. Both these movies explores the impact strangers can have on each other. "The best conversation you will ever have is with a stranger." Anel Alexander and James Alexander pulls the the viewers in right from the start and do not let go till the next day. It is not one of those movies where you know were it is heading in that way it creates a type of suspense. And keeps the audience griped right to the end.
Discreet is definitely not everybody's cup of tee but if you like a film that portrays people in the real world this movie was made for you.

The other reviewers of this piece of junk must have been part of the cast and crew....no male that age is that unfamiliar with the female anatomy unless he's become celibate to join an order and then he would still know more than the rope-a-dope playing the part...on the other hand, the female is hardly a personable sex bomb ...if she was that cold and indifferent to clients she wouldn't last 10 minutes as a high end call girl, escort or whatever tag you want to put on a prostitute...i gave a star for stupidity
Believable actors that draw you in. I really enjoyed this movie. Kind of makes you realize how fake people can be so as not to get their feelings hurt or become vulnerable. This is my first review of a movie, ever.
This is one of those films starts off and you soon think you have a good idea of where it is all going. And then you get caught up in the performances and dialogue, and it turns into more than you had hoped or expected. It only works because of the two great young actors and their direction. Each of them so much look like others in the profession that which you are familiar, but it is their own abilities that keep you involved here. The story-line is similar in style and substance to others, but it somehow seems fresh. It's the most unlikely call-girl and her John movie that you are likely to encounter in quite some time.
