Well, this film is not for everyone - I see some other reviews here, mostly negative; maybe not everyone understands it. Good script, good casting, good directing, good camera, good editing, good soundtrack, everything on good professional level. Certainly not a masterpiece, but good craft work, considering low budget.
Maybe this is the film for a limited audience that can evaluate it professionally or for viewers who see life from his shadow side ... at least I give 9/10, because I see a potentially very strong film crew who has done a good job ...
I think that this kind of movies are directed towards a smarter and more sensitive audience that have no illusions about the dark side of life and is not afraid to peek behind it ...

Good movie, but not for everyone...
A Hard Watch About The Darker Sides of Society
Okay, so this obviously isn't a movie for everyone as it deals with the darkest aspects of modern society such as Sex\human trafficking's, Sex workers/prostitution, child pornography, and perverted teachers. With that being said, this film is kind of a mixed bag. In places, the film feels a bit rushed, and the acting is a bit wooden. However, I can't imagine it had much of a budget to work with. Other than Brittany Snow, the rest of the cast is meh. Even Brittany Snow feels slightly wasted as she is only in a few scenes, and her character's motivation is a little unclear. This is primarily due to the fact this film has too many characters, all of whom are one dimensional. The ending also feels rushed and unearned. Nevertheless, the film does raise some interesting questions about our current culture, such as do Sex workers have rights? Also, it touches lightly upon rape culture and victim-blaming and rape culture. (If you've seen the film, that perv got what he deserved). I can certainly see why some would hate it. In the end, this movie is nothing special, but if you have the stomach for it, I would definitely recommend watching it. (Spoiler )If for nothing else, then to see Brittany Snow freak out while repeatedly punching a pervert.
Plot from a fever dream
Good acting, considering the remarkably puerile script they had to work with. The characters were almost totally unbelievable, the only motivation any of them had to work with was "bizarrely deviant" or "abused as a child", and the sketchy history that brings the characters to the period of the movie is told in such a drawn-out, patchy fashion that it simply becomes annoying, rather than dramatic, as the author seems to have intended.
The "unrated" label is a draw for people wanting to see something explicit - but only the language and sexual situations would prevent this from a PG rating.
*** Spoilers follow *** The teacher who obviously masturbates watching his students, the students who obviously encourage this by giving him up-skirt shots, then go with him to enlist in producing internet porn, the escort who storms out of a "date" within 90 seconds because the client wants to touch her, the over-the-top fetishes shown all prevent the viewer from being able to suspend disbelief long enough to enjoy any part of this movie. As another reviewer pointed out, the acting is pretty good - but that's all there is to see here.
