GETTING OFF is a gut-wrenching confessional that mixes sex and emotional violence with insight and redemption.
It’s 1992. Josie (Christine Harnos), a 28 year old downtown artist is tormented by a traumatic event that happened during a drunken blackout in college. Unable to face the painful experience, she's spent the past decade locked into a compulsive cycle of excessive drinking and sleeping with abusive men.
When one of Josie's best friends from college is diagnosed with AIDS, Josie and two girlfriends from her college days, a stand-up comedian (Brooke Smith) and an MBA student (Amy Ryan), decide to take an AIDS test. Using the excruciating wait for their results as a backdrop, writer/director Julie Lynch paints a canvas of raw emotion as the three women begin to examine their pasts. As Josie opens up, consciously exploring each sexual encounter she can remember, her subconscious reveals the truth she's never before had the courage to confront.
In the end, GETTING OFF exposes the truth about all three women's relationships to sex, to men, and to each other.
