The Girlfriend Experience

recommended.


After seeing nothing but "fanboy" films for a while and being overly critical of them, it was very enjoyable to see an entirely different sort of film.

I feel like when film's are offered such deep and lush subject matter as comic books or TV series, they take the top layer and disregard anything deeper. On the other hand, Soderbergh creates a very layered and realistic environment for this film. It didn't hurt that subject matter like "open" relationships and prostitution fascinate me.

I just watched this movie last night. I thought the background of the movie (constant discussion about Obama, the economy) tied well into the foreground (the escort trying to gain new clients, open a boutique, the boyfriend looking for a new gym). On this stage the two main characters had a pretty realistic relationship, strained by the economy, and the inevitable distance between two people who can't communicate. I was also glad that it was a bit on the short side. It made me watch some Sasha grey porn as well. She has a lot of anal videos.
