| | + | It is a dark movie, as prostitution is not a light subject. Vivian and her hooker roommate live and work in Beverly Hills, a place where many young people come to find their dreams. They are trying to hold on to a shred of autonomy ("We say who, we say when, we say how much") instead of having a [[pimp]] run their lives.
