What did we learn?
An independent movie about a California housewife who befriends a prostitute. Rachel is clearly a privileged woman who is bored, depressed, or both. She meets a sex worker named McKenna and thinks she can help her, inviting her to stay in her home. Following her curiosity about McKenna's life, Rachel goes with her to a session and is disturbed by seeing the reality of prostitution. She hurts McKenna by treating her like a prostitute for the first time, not allowing her to babysit her and her friends' children. McKenna acts out by coming on to the husbands while the wives are out separately, and sleeps with at least one of them. Somehow this turns everyone else's life upside down, but Rachel seems somehow revitalized. I am not sure if I understood everything that was going on, or what the movie might have been saying about any particular character, but it was well acted and filmed. I'll give it 6/10.
