I felt a little self-conscious sitting down to a movie with this title, and was pleasantly surprised by the nature of the story. It's a more compelling character piece than I had expected. While some of the main character's actions push the limits of believability, I found the story to be entirely engaging. The main character is at times (many times) pathetic, and wonderfully portrayed by the lead actor (although I'm too lazy to go look up his name on the box).
The look of the picture is really what pulled me in -- right from the first shots. Moody and creepy and silky, and I felt like I was right there in that strip club. Kudos to the visual sense of the cinematographer and director.
Overall, a thought provoking, unsettling, and good to look at movie.
