"One Hour Fantasy Girl" was a good movie, but had some flaws (in my opinion.) One of the strengths of the movie was the lead actress. She was very engaging, engrossed in the role, and held my attention throughout the entire movie. She had a vulnerability about her in her performance, but in a way that wasn't overwhelmed with hysterics. The story itself was very good, and had interesting elements that showcased the hardships of an occupation where one is vulnerable to people who manipulate and take advantage of others.

However, during the first half hour, the film was hard for me to follow, and I wasn't too sure what was going on. I wasn't sure what the purpose of the transitional scenes were, and how they moved the story forward. I also didn't understand the significance of certain characters and how they were important to the main character, or why she came to trust certain characters and not others.

Overall, I thought it was a good film with a potentially rich story and a great lead actress.
