Working Girls (1986) review

It's yet another day-in-the-life of "sex workers" (because the word "prostitutes" makes people feel guilty, apparently) in a NYC Brothel, where the likes of Molly (Louise Smith), Dawn (Amanda Goodwin) and Gina (Marusia Zach) smoke weed, entertain clients with varied requests (light bondage, anger issues towards women, threesomes) and have to deal with the Madam (Ellen McElduff).  While I'll admit it has an authentic "feel" to it - co-screenwriters Borden and Sandra Kay seem like they have the vernacular down - it never quite sheds that "amateurish" cloud hanging over it, with the odd sound effect choices, affected acting and unintentionally funny "intimate scenes" (and then there's the teacher who wants to learn how to 'talk to girls').  It sort of holds the entire male gender in deep contempt - all the boys want Molly to date them on the "outside" ... but she's not even heterosexual herself (the real question is, does her lover mind her ... doing all that?  That's what I really want to know).  Here's the actual takeaway: if you go to an Ivy League school, maybe avoid majoring in English Literature and Art History and stick with Economics?  I'm just saying....
