True Confessions of a Go-Go Girl

2008 · 88 min

A cautionary, earnest TV drama that slides from hopeful ambition into quiet self-loss, easy to watch but faintly sad.

Overview: Jane McCoy, a recent college graduate, much to her parent's dismay, decides to scrap her plans for law school to pursue an acting career full-time. Struggling to make ends meet, she meets a confident and persuasive friend who shows her the way to make extra money go-go dancing. What starts as just an "easy money" job, however, rapidly becomes an all-consuming activity that slowly pulls Jane from her acting classes, her relationships with her boyfriend and family, and, most importantly, from her true self.

About: Identity, addiction, coming-of-age, family
