Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Alexandra is a college student trying to make ends meet for her expensive apartment by becoming a call girl. She is attractive, but has a sullen personality that makes you wonder if she finds anything in her world interesting. And as the film progresses she manipulates others, including her father, through her constant scheming, and lying. Unfortunately she eventually turns a trick with the wrong guy and while she manages to slip away from him, his presence remains throughout the film. Despite not liking Alexandra, I found I wanted her to reform, love her father and escape all that set her on the wrong path. Better than I thought for a low budget eastern European movie.

I might have seen something similar on this website I think //www.universal-escort.com/ by the way it's a really interesting story. some friend of mine have been doing escort, and they had some similar story.Some had more chance, some other less. I think trying to "conquer" the world while being a prostitute is a complicated. people won't have a good opinion of you.Much of what we see are all the practical problems and little details of a call girl life: multiple cell phones, code names, harassment by pimps, dying clients, mentally unstable clients, unattractive (downright ugly?) clients, continual fear of exposure, suspicion from hotel staff, inability to ask police to intervene normally, unwelcome carryover of massive lying and acting into other areas of life, difficulty balancing two separate lives (sleep, deadlines, finances, etc.), and so on.

Slovenka is the name used in ads by Aleksandra to hook up with men for money. She is a twenty three year old college student studying English, and like many girls around the world, finds it a way to pay her tuition. Her parents are divorced, she has a good relationship with her father, but hates her mother. She lies, cheats and steals, with no real moral compass.Nina Ivanisin is Aleksandra, and she drifts seamlessly through the film with a natural grace and charm. The story is depressing as she gets tangled up with local, dangerous gangsters who, at one point, dangle her out of the window of a high rise. Slovenka is a cold and dark view of humanity; this ain't Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts and her goofy smile. Ivansin is a real actress showing a full range of emotions. There is no happily ever after.

A call girl is a slow moody emotional disturbing kind of films.First thing is that the direction of the movie is so good. the story flows naturally the screen play has no cinematic experience in it. The whole essence of the movie is contained with a story of a girl who sells herself to live normally.....the lead role by the girl was so real and natural which makes you feel for her.The film has got so much day to day things of an authentic Slovenian life in it which gets you into it. The girl is so perfect for the role her mannerisms makes the viewer feel for her,like she usually lights up a cigar scratching it with her tongue and lips which has been maintained in the entire movie.Overall it is a story so natural without cinematic twist and turn endings.Natural star cast.The movie is Quite normal and moving.I would give 8 on 10.
