Movie: The Girlfriend Experience (2009)

[asianguy77]

Anyone seen the movie The Girlfriend Experience? It's been out for awhile, but I managed to watch it the other day online. Can't say it was that rivetting though. It stars pornstar Sasha Grey, and no it's not actually a porn film but a somewhat 'documentary' style. Directed by Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh (TRAFFIC, OCEAN'S ELEVEN).

Synopsis (taken from Amazon): Set in the weeks leading up to the 2008 presidential election, THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE is five days in the life of Chelsea (adult film star Sasha Grey in her mainstream film debut), an ultra high-end Manhattan call girl who offers more than sex to her clients, but companionship and conversation - "the girlfriend experience." 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.

looks interesting, sorta like a tv show called Secret Diary of a Call Girl

Sounds interesting, with a real porn star.

Yes, I wonder how closely it parallels the lives of the WL's on here

I have seen it & it's very slow & hard to watch...It is a realistic view of the industry but the documentary style of the movie is really annoying.

Thanks. Doco style movies can be hard to watch.

I quite enjoyed it. Although probably a little biased because of my interest in the industry.. I also thought Sasha Grey did a pretty good job. Yes a little slow, but good story and acting.
