The film stars Brooke Bloom as Ronah, a sexual surrogate whose professional intimacy with her male clients has begun to take over her personal life.

While studying for her master's degree, Ronah works as sexual surrogate in New York City under therapist Dr. Alan Cassidy.

Johnny's hostility to Ronah's attempts to get him to open up eventually leads him to reveal in one session that he does not trust her and desires to strangle her.

Her apartment building's maintenance man breaks through the wall in her shower to reach a leaky pipe on a complaint by her neighbor, then leaves the hole unfixed for weeks.

Ronah attempts to contact her neighbor to no avail, and takes a harassing phone call from a prior client.

Initial production funds for She's Lost Control were raised on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, earning a total of $50,081 by November 9, 2012.

[10] David Rooney in his review for The Hollywood Reporter described the film as "austerely elegant", "acted with naturalistic intensity", "arrestingly lit and shot, exhibiting a sharp eye for expressive compositions."

"[14] In her review for the Los Angeles Times, Katie Walsh finds that the "cinematic style and themes of urban alienation reflect almost a 1970s thriller quality, though the execution is decidedly modern.

"[15] Ronnie Scheib of Variety wrote that the film's clinical compositions create "an uncomfortable tension" with the warmth of Bloom's acting but could alienate audiences.

[16] Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote that it "sustains a mood of deepening alienation, but the attitude of the movie is too detached for it to be emotionally gripping, and its ending is botched.

"[17] Kenji Fujishima of Slant Magazine rated it 2.5/4 stars and wrote that although the film "raises a lot of genuinely thought-provoking questions", it "loses control of the most interesting and provocative threads of its vision".
