Quid Pro Quo was a movie with many faults, butit was certainly refreshing to see ourexistence portrayed on screen even ifall of the details weren’t quite right.

At one point she acknowledges to him that she’s never shared thisaspect of her life with another humansoul. My favorite moment comes at the end ofthe scene when she tells him that she needs to use her chair but can’t with him there.That was the mostauthentic aspect of the whole movie for me.
