Soderbergh

The Girlfriend Experience
$3.99
Fascinating view into a world I will never know (which is a good thing). Sasha Grey is very real in this movie. More so than some of the other actors - maybe because she is basically playing herself? Don't know but it doesn't matter.

This movie affected me. I wanted to know why someone so beautiful would want to be an "escort." And when I googled the actress, her porn films sound really disgusting - far worse than what she is doing in this movie. So I'm thinking that in real life, she was probably sexually abused by her stepfather. That's just my guess.

Her aloofness says to me that she was very hurt emotionally early in her life because she is now numb.

It's really sad because she could have just gotten into regular modeling and I'm afraid that she is using her life to promote pedophilia, even though I don't think she realizes that.

This book is great for beginning filmmakers and fans of Soderbergh. Interesting tidbits and observations from two captivating filmmakers. It's also hilarious much of the time.

This is a MUCH better film than some of the reviews would have you believe. It is a fascinating look at an element of American society that is virtually ignored by the movies. And that it is done by non-professionals and largely ad-libbed makes it quite remarkable. The editing is outstanding and the movie is never boring. The only problem is the ending, which is simultaneously over dramatic and totally lacking in drama. I think it will provide valuable insights into life in America at this time for future generations.
