While writing the script for Variety, Kathy Acker made a note: “Every step forward in desire, remember, needs two backward and around steps.” Variety traces the choreography of desire’s multi-directional steps, as we follow a Times Square porn theater’s newest hire on her journey into fantasy, voyeurism, and a bit of light stalking.
