Quid Pro Quo is a 2008 American drama film, written and directed by Carlos Brooks, and starring Nick Stahl and Vera Farmiga.

"[3] Principal photography for Quid Pro Quo took place on location in Upper Freehold, New Jersey, with additional road scenes shot in La Conner, Washington.

The critical consensus reads, "Despite a stunning performance by Vera Farmiga, Quid Pro Quo never develops its effective parts into a convincing whole.

Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter said "Brooks delves into a netherworld of fetishisms and handicap worship in his daring first feature, Quid Pro Quo.

The film, intimately shot, sidesteps exploitative potential, and the finely tuned screenplay obscures its titular theme (colloquially translated 'tit for tat’) in multiple layers of narrative and a hit of noir.

Reyhan Harmanci of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote "the only real tension onscreen is her mercurial moods, as she vacillates between objectifying Knott…to irrational, hysterical anger", adding, "it’s a shame…that the script didn't call for her to go full-on Fatal Attraction [as] she could have pulled it off.

"[7] Leo Goldsmith of IndieWire opined, "Though the film hints at sensitive and psychologically complex subject matter, it seems far more interested in wrapping its story up in a pretty and clever way than delving into rich emotional territory.
