Steven Soderbergh’s latest movie, The Girlfriend Experience, focuses on the life of a Manhattan call girl played by mega-porn-star Sasha Grey. Sex is on her menu, but the main course is the titular experience; for $2000 an hour, she’ll be your girlfriend, despite having a “real” boyfriend of her own. Grey’s character is making a fortune, but — Soderbergh implies — at some less-quantifiable cost to her humanity.
The movie is slick, clever, and funny, but is its depiction of high-end hooking at all realistic? Was Sasha Grey’s smoky New York pro at all believable? Why not ask the experts — a real high-end call girl, Trista, and a real high-end client, David. I sent them both to a screening to see what they really thought of The Girlfriend Experience. — Ondine Galsworth
What did you think of The Girlfriend Experience?
Trista: I really liked some of it, and some of it drove me nuts. I loved the cinematography and the pace. The color of the movie — the grayish moodiness. And the sets, the restaurants, the street scenes — it made me miss New York. It made New York sexy.
