"A film about the sex industry with no sex in it, Fotopoulos uses the most minimal of means (stark black-and-white photography, creepy sci-fi sound design) to create a pulsating, palpable, Pinter-esque sense of dread..." 
—Film Comment



"Fotopoulos’s films have something in common with
early Lynch and early Cronenberg, but they are also
law unto themselves. This feature is more genre based
than last year’s festival winner, Migrating Forms, but
the icy detachment and creepy castration anxiety is
just as intense. Psychotic is the only word that does
it justice." -Amy Taubin, The Village Voice

It's a "cool and highly controlled monochrome study of
paranoia and powerplay in the world of lingerie
modelling (don't come expecting lacy seductions)...
formally inventive and resolutely modern... Very early
Cronenberg... it's own unsettling if also alienating
ton."
- Gareth Evans, Time Out London
