The film periodically cuts to a scene in which Sera is taking about her relationship with Ben, but we never see the person she is talking to. Who is it?
shareI think it's her therapist. One of the reasons why I think that is because she lies on the couch when talking to him or her at one point in the film.
shareHer therapist, and obviously not a very good one to let her ramble on about one of her dates. See "Klute"--similar and much better (not the overall movie, just the use of the therapist sessions)--so similar in fact, this almost seemed like an homage.
Glad I wasn't the only one to get the Klute similarity. I think she even emulated Fonda a bit during those scenes, especially the hand movements.
To you. She's an actress in a corny movie, playing a hooker with a heart of gold, and you bought into it.
