- Synopsis
- A semi-paralyzed radio reporter is sent out to investigate a story that leads him into an odd subculture and on a journey of disturbing self-realization. Isaac Knott (Nick Stahl) is a Public Radio reporter in New York City. When he was eight, his mother and father died in an automobile accident that left him in a wheelchair. On air, Isaac recounts how he recently received an anonymous tip from someone identified only as "Ancient Chinese Girl." She tells him a perfectly able-bodied man walked into an emergency ward downtown, and attempted to bribe a doctor into amputating his leg. As Isaac investigates the eerie tip, he encounters Fiona (Vera Farmiga) who, through her own quandary, leads Isaac to a netherworld of people afflicted with a perverse desire to be disabled. Like a contemporary noir detective film, QUID PRO QUO follows Isaac as he embarks on a dream-like journey to pull back the layers of what makes people feel whole.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A strikingly original and provocative first feature from scribe-helmer Carlos Brooks."
-
"This warped masochistic cousin to David Cronenberg's 'Crash' - not to be confused with the Oscar winner of the same name - is well worth seeing for Farmiga's stunning performance."
-
"Brooks and his actors manage to render an involving and thoughtful story from some pretty dubious material."
-
"'Quid Pro Quo', billed as a 'neo-noir' about a paraplegic journalist drawn into a shadowy world of disability fetishists, is choked by allegory and pretension"
-
"The story eventually resolves itself a little too neatly, but it never devolves into a freak show or a fable, thanks in large part to Farmiga and Stahl's deft, quirky performances."
