The film moves with a strong, energetic rhythm, and Bi's editing is sharp. The style helps hide some of the film's other deficits, like some shallow, undeveloped characters. Also, only one actress (Una Lin) is contracted for nudity, but the fast pace and generous editing may prevent some audiences from realizing such. Some details are suspiciously dropped; nothing is ever made of Gucci's horny brother (Deep Ng), the threatening serial killer is never fully dealt with, and the ripped-from-the-headlines HIV storyline (involving a john posting a list of possibly infected girls online) is resolved in a predictable, pseudo-sensitive manner. Stripped of its style, Girl$ offers little new to this genre besides the same lip service about how sex workers are people too.
Still, provided one doesn't look too closely at the sexual or gender politics involved, there's enough in Girl$ to entertain. Kenneth Bi successfully makes this particular subculture, where young men and women trade for sex online and via text messaging, into a believable and immediate one. The modern technological age, where privacy and information are bartered so casually, seems familiar and even a little frightening in Bi's hands. He can't channel the same effectiveness into his characters or their emotions, but there are bright spots there too. Michelle Wai is among Hong Kong's most promising young actresses, and the emotions she creates are striking ones. The other actresses aren't quite as strong, but they suit their character types well. With Girl$, Bi shows that he's talented enough to tell stories different than his previous, somewhat self-absorbed works did. He may simply need better scripts and better producers to move up another level.
