Chelsea (Sasha Grey) is a high-priced $2,000-an-hour call girl in Manhattan, offering a 'girlfriend experience': she'll dress with the client in mind, go to dinner and a movie, listen attentively to talk about work and finances, and she'll provide sex. It's October, 2008: a presidential election nears and the economy is in free fall. She has a boyfriend, Chris (Chris Santos), who's a personal trainer. We are shown five non-consecutive days in Chelsea's life. She's working on her Web page, talking to image consultants, and being interviewed by a reporter. She asks clients when their birthdays are and uses that for an astrological prediction. She's drawn to a new client, a writer from L.A. Should she break her rules for him? What if it risks her relationship with Chris? Should she invest in gold?
Leave your thoughts about The Girlfriend Experience.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis film is true about human nature. It is not universal, but within its particular focus, it is unrelenting. |
| The Film YapNick RogersLike a sneaky P.I. seeking weakness, Soderbergh places his camera behind everyday barriers. In half the time, "The Girlfriend Experience" offers as haunting, relentless, incisive and fierce a commentary on human interaction as "Fight Club." |
| Movie HabitMarty MapesThe nature of men and the business of relationships |
| Washington PostJan StuartThe film manages a career-spanning panache: Soderbergh taps into the nervy impulses of his earliest endeavor, "sex, lies and videotape" as well as "Ocean's Eleven." The Girlfriend Experience has something to elevate and exasperate fans of both. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesIt's a modest success that makes one wish Soderbergh could find some happy middle ground between funky experiments and Ocean's Eleven. |
| Sacramento BeeCarla MeyerSteven Soderbergh's study of a high-priced Manhattan call girl through the prism of the economic crisis, is meta enough to intrigue yet too removed to truly engage. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe Girlfriend Experience is one of Steven Soderbergh's bite-size, semi-improvised, shot-on-DV doodles (like Bubble or Full Frontal), and it's the best one he's made. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyUltimately, though "The Girlfriend Experience" is a brief cultural oil check with a dipstick that you can barely read. What the film shows is that Sacha Grey can act, and Soderbergh shoots beautiful compositions. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasAn interesting character-based experiment by Soderbergh, one that's more fully-realized than some of his other recent ideas. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsLike an X-ray, the focused power of sex, lies and hi-def video cuts to the bone. |
