Working Girls

About This Movie

Working Girls (1985) is an interesting take on the genre, weaving together seven tales that explore the various shades of sexual transactions. The tone is a mix of cheeky and serious, which gives it a unique edge. The pacing varies, sometimes lingering on poignant moments while other times racing through the absurdity of its subjects. While it aims to broaden the definition of ‘working girl’, it doesn’t shy away from the grittiness of life. Practical effects aren't a focal point here, but the performances pack a punch, often blurring the lines between humor and reality. It’s definitely a conversation starter, often provoking thoughts on societal views of sexuality and power dynamics.

Working Girls has had a bit of a varied release history, with some VHS versions circulating among collectors, but the availability of pristine copies remains a challenge. It’s not the most mainstream title, which adds to its allure for those interested in niche cinema. Collectors appreciate its audacious narrative style and the unorthodox approach to its themes, making it a potentially interesting find for those delving into adult-themed comedies of the 80s.
