She's Lost Control is a 2014 American drama film written and directed by Anja Marquardt in her directorial debut, nominated for two Film Independent Spirit Awards. 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. The film premiered at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival[2] on February 9, 2014, where it won the Forum section's top prize, the CICAE International Confederation of Art Cinemas Award, being called a "masterpiece" by the jury.[3] One month later, She's Lost Control had its North American premiere at the SXSW Film Festival, followed by a New York premiere at the New Directors/New Films Festival at Film Society of Lincoln Center and MoMa, where it was described as a "stylish, deeply unnerving, and profound film on an intangible modern issue."[4]

The film was released theatrically in the United States by Monument Releasing on March 20, 2015, in Germany May 14, 2015,[5] and in France July 23, 2015.[6] The title is a reference to the Joy Division song.
