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 (Chris Santos) who accepts her lifestyle. The twentieth film from Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh (TRAFFIC, OCEAN'S ELEVEN), THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE is a sexy, gorgeously shot time capsule from the not-too-distant past.
Steven Soderbergh Genre: Drama Runtime: 1 hour 18 minutes Release year: 2009 Studio: Magnolia Pictures MPAA Rating: Rated R for sexual content, nudity and language.
The Girlfriend Experience (DVD) The need to love and be loved, to know and be known, suggests director Steven Soderbergh (Bubble), is so deeply and powerfully embedded in human nature that we will do almost anything to get it. We will even pay for it, whether to a therapist, to a personal trainer like Chris, or to a $2,000 an hour "escort" girl like Chelsea who provides sex, of course, but mainly therapy to very wealthy but deeply lonely men. Mainly they talk to Chelsea, about all the things you'd talk about in a "real" relationship. She pretends to offer that and they believe they receive it, and woe to both parties when they drop their guard and transgress business boundaries to reveal themselves to each other as real human beings rather than as partners in a transaction. Since human love is one of the few things you can't buy, Chelsea and her clients seek something they can't get and forfeit their closest approximations in what they already have.
See all my reviews I heard about this movie from a friend and it piqued my interest. I watched the trailer, but I was curious to see the entire film. It had it's brief moments of poigniancy and Ms Grey has some depth and potential there to develop and probably more than some so-called "legit" actresses. I like the reality, documentary genres and although sometimes it was less exciting than watching paint dry, it was bearable. I think one viewing was enough for me, but I'd recommend it to others to give it a chance. I think if you want to feel like you took a valium without actually taking one, you can watch this film. This movie strangely enough felt like it could have been filmed in the 90's if it wasn't for the references to today's crises and political atmosphere. Overall, I had the feeling of being a fly on the wall witnessing the moments when people let their guards down and the ego and fear conflicts make for life's messiness.
See all my reviews This is a slice of life from New York in 2008 with a hard to find story and a narrative structure that bounces around here and there from muddled comment to half-hearted observation to low-key interview. We follow a high priced escort to some of her "dates" and she has a bunch of conversations and almost kinda sorta makes a decision about a relationship in her life. It's very low key, like a bunch of real people chatting in several normal moments. It isn't a powerful narrative that leads up to an unforgettable, er, climax. But I'm not sure its aspirations are as artsy -- ie aspiring to make some bigger, artistic point -- as the style. At the end of the day it doesn't feel like a My Dinner With Andre or Five Easy Pieces or The Conversation or Lost in Translation or whatever artsy sort of low key but powerful film you want to mention. Maybe I missed it but for me it just didn't add up to that. Sometimes there can be a lack of emotion on the screen but powerful underlying emotion that sort of comes together in the end? So to me it was kind of interesting to spend some time in NY and the fact that she had a career as a high priced escort was I suppose sort of interetsing for a while, but it never emotionally grabbed me. Cast was fine, including lead actress who apparently has a career in more "revealing" films... She should try again with a character who has more to do.
