Synopsis

Set in the weeks leading up to the 2008 presidential election, The Girlfriend Experience is five days in the life of Chelsea, an ultra high-end Manhattan call girl who offers more than sex to her clients, but companionship and conversation – “the girlfriend experience.” Chelsea thinks she has her life totally under control—she feels her future is secure because she runs her own business her own way, makes $2000 an hour, and has a devoted boyfriend who accepts her lifestyle. But when you're in the business of meeting people, you never know who you're going to meet.

Reviews

"The 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."

   - Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

"This film is true about human nature. It is not universal, but within its particular focus, it is unrelenting."

   - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"The smartest thing director Steven Soderbergh did in the making of The Girlfriend Experience was to cast Sasha Grey."

   - Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

"Fair warning: I had to see The Girlfriend Experience twice before its pieces settled into coherent shape."

   - Ty Burr, Boston Globe

"Stylishly shot on the high-def cheap, runs 77 potently sexless minutes. Its subject isn't erotica, it's commodities trading."

   - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
