It is still pretty good considering how Soderbergh filmed this as well as the fact that this does feel like an authentic look at a major event, but his inability to get inside his character's heads as well as not knowing exactly how to end his film mars its enough to say it is not worth an automatic recommendation. Steven Soderbergh's 2009 movie The Girlfriend Experience worked in large part because of the lead performance of then-porn star Sasha Grey. At 77 minutes, it crawls towards those minutes feeling like two and half hours worth of cinema. The floors are always shined and Christine rarely has a stray hair fall out of her bun. With the doe-eyed innocence of Anastasia Steele. I'm always open to movies like The Girlfriend Experience though; especially when someone like Soderbergh is directing. Like the film, the show will focus on high-end escorts and all the craziness that surrounds this underground world. "I find it to be a waste of time. " This stoicism can also make Keough sound like an unintentionally comedic robot.
The things that were entertaining had to be the rich clients. This whole movie is Chelsea's and the brunt of the film falls squarely on Sasha Grey's fingers. This movie has so many flaws that are hidden by beautiful cinematography and the casting choice of Sasha Grey. Read critic reviews. This has the effect of making the show's atmosphere look almost supernatural, filtered by murky orange and blue lights. While her escort friend talks about her work, Christine asks, "And you have sex with them? " The movie is all about thought and character, and could be off-putting in that respect. Over the course of the series, Christine sleeps with several men, many of whom feel indistinguishable from one another (aging, strong-jawed business-types with very clean suits and even cleaner apartments). Their vanity and greed corrupts them to the point where some of them cheat on their wives. "You meet men online? " May 24, 2012An original though detached and shallow study of the economic meltdown of 2008, seen through the lenses of a New York call girl (Sasha Grey), and how she deals with her various clients.
Like Soderbergh's original movie (he stays on as an executive producer here), The Girlfriend Experience is obsessed with specific spaces, and the feelings associated with those spaces. He made another appointment for November 3rd. Even moments of intense fear and paranoia are trumped by this blank look, as if Christine is terrified to feel anything other than a deadening emptiness. "I love vacations" is among the best / worst line readings on the show. The new Starz series is loosely inspired by Steven Soderbergh's 2009 film of the same name, which chronicled the work of a high-end escort (played by then-adult-actress Sasha Grey) trying to make money in New York City after the 2008 financial collapse. Steven Soderbergh's latest lo-fi production is strikingly crafted but emotionally vague. These men actually pay another woman to have sex with them when they have wives at home. Keough's portrayal of Christine is calculated, cold, and pristine, like a revamped Patrick Bateman.
It's about the end result at all costs; several of its tangled plotlines get lost and never finish. Even while trying to claim that sex is no big deal, The Girlfriend Experience is often hand-wringing and squeamish, treating physical intimacy like an act of body horror. Moody hotel room lighting and late nights at the office. She gasps at another point, as if this wouldn't be any logical person's first assumption.
That's the elevator pitch for The Girlfriend Experience — one woman's experience of exchanging sex for money — but it's really just a starting point for the show's attempts to explore under-the-table transactions as a general space: the hidden exchanges of the economy, business, family, and sex. The Girlfriend Experience is a show about having explicit but perfected sex in beautiful hotel rooms. The Girlfriend Experience is aesthetically beautiful, and almost consistently stunning to look at. Christine's interactions with some of these men are the only evidence that she's capable of empathy. Though, like the movie, we doubt any of it will be truly sexy and more likely kind of sad and uncomfortable, so yeah. Characters who once seemed significant fade into the background. Then he masturbated while watching me. Jul 27, 2012Chelsea: After he got off the phone, we made out for a while and then he asked me to masturbate, which I did. Steven Soderbergh who has directed countless high profile stars gives Grey nothing to do. "See it with someone you ****" The Girlfriend Experience is another one of Steven Soderbergh's experimental films. You might also likeSee More.
Aug 02, 2011The Girlfriend Experience feels like an experiment in film-making. She wasn't half bad, and because of that, it's the same with the movie as a whole; it wasn't half bad. And with Soderbergh quarterbacking the whole thing, you can expect slick cinematography, tension, and of course, a fair amount of sex. It is in the style of a movie like Bubble more then a movie like Ocean's 11. Almost all of the show is shot in apartments that look more like showrooms than homes, and high-ceilinged hotels with overpriced restaurants attached. Grey is not completely responsible for her stale performance. Audience Reviews for The Girlfriend Experience. A good concept with some important themes, The Girlfriend Experience still falls flat. Throughout most of the series' 13 episodes, Keough maintains the same dead-eyed stare almost without interruption. "I just don't enjoy spending time with people, " she says at one of the show's many nondescript hotel restaurants. Long, patient shots seem to slow down time, even as more than a year passes over the course of the series. Though she had virtually no acting experience (sadly, we can't count playing yourself on a bad season of Entourage as acting experience) she gave an honest, chilling portrayal of a high-end escort searching for deeper meaning in life.
On The Girlfriend Experience, this space exists in moody hotel room lighting and late nights at the office, coming up for daylight only when the dark gets too heavy. This movie shows the corruption that is within certain parts of society. Nevertheless, she has decided to make the transition to film that leave many people scratching their heads for the reasons. The problem lies within its overall delivery which is lifeless. The clients are shown to be egocentric, materialistic, and politically educated only for self gain. While director Steven Soderbergh does a brilliant job picking a perspective on a subject like this and having a "fly on the wall" presence throughout, the film's inability to enamor or push beyond its initial thoughts on the economy prove to be very disappointing. The Girlfriend Experience is obsessed with money, status, cheating, and getting caught. The only thing that is lacking in The Girlfriend Experience to create that same realistic effect are the performances. Now, The Girlfriend Experience will live on, but as a TV show on Starz and without Grey in the lead role. Not as good as Bubble, but still pretty good.
Maybe then, more emotions and struggles could have been brought to the table for the actor to share. A high-priced escort is basically a hooker. It's extremely short and also feels like the audience is distanced from the characters. Soderbergh's Bubble and Van Sant's Elephant and Paranoid Park are movies that come to mind. She stares blankly at the screen the entire time showing no emotion in a role that does not give her much to do. These effects only heighten the fact that show already feels like a political thriller. Because prostitution is illegal in the show's world, every sex scene (and there are many) feels like a covert documentation of a criminal act, even if Christine isn't with a client. The show is a lot like its main character: distractingly beautiful, but ultimately empty, even when it treats you to a little glimpse of humanity. This also means that the show can feel slightly self-important at times, with overly serious dialogue like "You can be whoever you want to be, " and "Everyone is paid to be everywhere — it's called economy. The plot is really not there.
This time around, the story moves to Chicago, where Christine Reade (Riley Keough) becomes interested in escort work after she discovers a close friend makes most of her income from it. But in a show that feels like it's shot in a museum, the men often seem like the closest thing to flesh and blood. She has a boyfriend who is okay with the whole thing, but he seems to want it to stop through his dialogue. At one point, she asks her older sister if she thinks she could be a sociopath. It's more just a character driven movie that has some statements to say about the Obama/McCain race and the crumbling economy. A "sophisticated escort" goes about her life and we watch it take place. The Girlfriend Experience is, at times, irritating, captivating, uncomfortable, beautiful, heavy-handed, frightening, confusing, and a little bit dumb.
