It is about a woman that steals or shoplifts things just for the heck of it. She doesn't seem like a kleptomaniac nor does she seem like a criminal. It is just kind of what she does. But because her motivation isn't explained at all I could never relate to her.
This is a slice of life movie made entirely on 16mm. There is a scene where she meets a guy on the street and they steel a car and she learns to drive and they go to Boston and have sex and she comes home and reads or something like that. This movie is one long run on sentence.
Is is mostly hand held which makes for a shaky POV look, but here I found it a little distracting. And the sound didn't seem mixed all that well, which made it hard to make out some of the dialogue. Perhaps that was on purpose but it seems amateurish.
As a whole this film is ok and worth an hour of your time on a rainy day. I was attracted to this movie by the cover art on Netflix Streaming. I give The Pleasure of Being Robbed ★★1/2.
