The problem lies within its overall delivery which is lifeless.
#GIRLF GALLERIED MOVIE#
This movie shows the corruption that is within certain parts of society. These men actually pay another woman to have sex with them when they have wives at home. Their vanity and greed corrupts them to the point where some of them cheat on their wives.
It is clear the message is how pathetic these men are for being only concerned about money and looks. The clients are shown to be egocentric, materialistic, and politically educated only for self gain. The things that were entertaining had to be the rich clients. Steven Soderbergh who has directed countless high profile stars gives Grey nothing to do. Grey is not completely responsible for her stale performance. Maybe then, more emotions and struggles could have been brought to the table for the actor to share. I feel this movie would have served better as a documentary. She stares blankly at the screen the entire time showing no emotion in a role that does not give her much to do. Grey does well in the role only because I really do not know if she is acting or not. A high-priced escort is basically a hooker. I will never understand why she would stop doing porn so she can portray a upscale high-priced escort. Nevertheless, she has decided to make the transition to film that leave many people scratching their heads for the reasons. Sasha Grey is recognized throughout the world for being a pornstar. This movie has so many flaws that are hidden by beautiful cinematography and the casting choice of Sasha Grey. The Girlfriend Experience feels like an experiment in film-making. The Girlfriend Experience's performances just aren't good enough to create it. The only thing that is lacking in The Girlfriend Experience to create that same realistic effect are the performances. Soderbergh's Bubble and Van Sant's Elephant and Paranoid Park are movies that come to mind. These type of experimental movies can be some of the most realistic movies you'll ever watch.
I'm always open to movies like The Girlfriend Experience though especially when someone like Soderbergh is directing. Not as good as Bubble, but still pretty good. It wasn't a masterpiece by any stretch, but it was a decent little experiment. In the end, I always have fun seeing a Soderbergh film for the first time and The Girlfriend Experience was no different. She wasn't half bad, and because of that, it's the same with the movie as a whole it wasn't half bad. This whole movie is Chelsea's and the brunt of the film falls squarely on Sasha Grey's fingers. It's more just a character driven movie that has some statements to say about the Obama/McCain race and the crumbling economy. He hints at it, but doesn't just come out and say it. She has a boyfriend who is okay with the whole thing, but he seems to want it to stop through his dialogue. The movie is all about thought and character, and could be off-putting in that respect.Ī "sophisticated escort" goes about her life and we watch it take place. The movie doesn't do the audiences any favors when it comes to excitement. It's extremely short and also feels like the audience is distanced from the characters. He filmed it on a small budget in a matter of two weeks with a cast that has never acted before(except Sasha Grey, but her normal films include deep throating or anal). It is in the style of a movie like Bubble more then a movie like Ocean's 11. The Girlfriend Experience is another one of Steven Soderbergh's experimental films. He made another appointment for November 3rd. Chelsea: After he got off the phone, we made out for a while and then he asked me to masturbate, which I did.
