The Girlfriend Experience GFE is five days in the life of an ultra high-end Manhattan call girl who 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 who accepts her lifestyle. But when youre in the business of meeting people, you never know who youre going to meet

Uh-oh, Steven Soderbergh is experimenting in the digital realm again. But don’t fret, girlfriend, because real-life pornographer and ingénue Sasha Grey should bring enough presence to keep you riveted if S.S.’s penchant for improvised dialogue and consciously half-formed ideas about our current economic situation aren’t your bag. Bloggers (sigh) have praised both Grey’s performance and Soderbergh’s visual take on five days in the life of this particular working woman.
