Student Services

Audience emotional responses for 'Student Services' are heavily dominated by a profound sense of sadness, empathy, and melancholy, reflecting Laura's desperate financial situation and her subsequent 'spiral' into transactional relationships. Viewers will experience significant anxiety and find the unfolding events disturbing, coupled with feelings of disgust for the exploitative circumstances and guilt for Laura's internal struggle. While there might be fleeting moments of hope, the film largely evokes a somber and unsettling emotional landscape, with traditional positive emotions like joy or love being minimal, as the 'romance' element is portrayed as a means of survival rather than genuine connection.
