"Claire Dolan" is the kind of film which will have very limited appeal. It's tells of a call girl's struggle to build a new, more conventional life for herself. The drama is so bleak it will likely bore those who cannot tune into the compelling psychodramatic undercurrents. It's an austere but artful shoot as well with an emphasis on geometry and deemphasis on color. Even the script is minimalistic as the characters speak in direct, abbreviated, and clipped dialogue. With no "feel good" ending to be found, the film is likely to be a turn off for most. However, there's no denying it's an excellent piece of work.
