Working Girls
1987 · TMDB 6.2
Directed by Lizzie Borden
A lesbian college graduate, trying to bankroll her own photography business, works as a high-priced New York City escort.
Why it matters
Lizzie Borden's day-in-the-life of a Manhattan brothel, structured like a shift report: bookings, breaks, awkward clients, a manager watching the clock. Louise Smith's performance as Molly keeps the film grounded in fatigue and competence rather than titillation.
