Reviews
I mean this is really indy, and I could never see Amanda De Cadenet as a famous model. She reminds me a little too much of the lead singer from Hole to be a model. She wasn't the heroine chic that defined the 90s look. She just doesn't fit that role, despite being a pretty good actress. Schaeffer, however, fits the role of a cabby pretty well, but not so much a lover. It's a pretentious film that is full of bad poetry, but it's a 90s indy film, and it's done well enough. It's steamy when you need it to be steamy. It's slightly misogynistic, and despite Amanda not looking the role, she does sell the role pretty well. Well, she sells it well enough that I'd cast her regularly if I made movies. She goes on to make her role believable despite not fitting the role. And in the end it's a fun, steamy, and entertaining flick that you can sit down and watch, not really feel cheated, and leave having enjoyed your time on your rump in front of the TV.
