Rating: 3/4 --
It's about forcing us to think about people we never would otherwise and seeing their struggles and humanity.

San Francisco Chronicle
Rating: 3.5/4 --
No one, male or female, has any fun, but the men behave as if they do. They are all half-stupefied by the languor in which they drown.

Chicago Sun-Times
The film's surreal, dreamlike atmosphere seems indebted to Lynch and Bunuel, and is enhanced by glitches in perspective, playbacks and split screens...
Sight and Sound
Bonello is more interested in the women's relationships with each other than with their rich clients, though we do get to see them living out some of their patrons' kinky desires.

Movie Talk
What gives the film its haunting pull, as well as its feminist undercurrent, is the filmmaker's palpable compassion for these women.

We watch with various degrees of either fascination or boredom as the girls go about their work wondering how long it or they will last.
London Evening Standard
Rating: 3.5/4 --
At once repellant and enthralling,exotic and familiar, but never anything short of fascinating.
