One Hour Fantasy Girl (2009)
One Hour Fantasy Girl
This is the second production I have viewed by this team. With any type of genre you begin to feel like you are seeing the same styles copied and the same concepts repeated. What we have here is something I feel, at last, is fresh and unique. No Restrictions productions are raw and real. This film skips the scene setting and plunges you straight into the characters worlds. While I viewed it I felt uncomfortable and directly immersed in the world I was watching. It feels very real throughout and that means that at its darkest moments, of which there are a few (!), there is no escape. Like others who have reviewed this, I delighted in one of the characters. Sal, and was thankful for the comic relief of the somewhat shady real estate agent. I actually found myself laughing out loud then covering my mouth because of my reaction, chastising myself for finding this world amusing. This really demonstrates the beauty of the film and the style. I felt so immersed in the film that even my laughter felt like it should be questioned. Films with a social message are so easily clichéd or just too brash but this is wonderfully put together. To me it explores the themes of abuse, exploitation, the sex industry, the vulnerability of youth and how life can take you down paths that make you feel like there are no other options. There are twists and turns that surprised me but made sense to the messages throughout. It doesn't ask you to feel sorry for the characters, it doesn't play on emotion or sympathy, it just shows you their world and a little harsh reality that we should and must be aware of. Perfect.
