Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Louise Keller (804) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 27 Aug 2009

It's a bit like an unsatisfying sexual encounter %u2013full of anticipation but not complete…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for Times-Picayune (642) on 16 Jul 2009

A mostly hollow experiment, built upon a thoroughly artificial vibe, that never really connects…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Jim Slotek (879) for Jam! Movies (2,396) on 25 Jun 2009

Too much prurient interest would tend to detract from the important statement Soderbergh thinks he's making about the economy and society…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Liam Lacey (1,725) for Globe and Mail (2,419) on 24 Jun 2009

This is one of the director's small, experimental, semi-improvised provocations, and if it doesn't push too deep, it's pointed enough to leave a mark…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Robert W. Butler (884) for Kansas City Star (1,573) on 18 Jun 2009

Grey is comfortable in front of the camera (and this time she gets to keep most of her clothes on), but her range is limited…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 11 Jun 2009

But take away the bedroom settings, erotic websites and pillow talk, and it's really a fascinating look at anyone who finds their business…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 07 Jun 2009

There are layers upon layers here--a porn star taking on a serious acting role in which she plays a woman whose job is to make herself an object…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Carla Meyer (580) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 04 Jun 2009

Steven Soderbergh's study of a high-priced Manhattan call girl through the prism of the economic crisis, is meta enough to intrigue yet too…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Michael Sragow (1,413) for Baltimore Sun (1,823) on 04 Jun 2009

The awkward, improvised language, flat acting, self-conscious filmmaking and thin characterization sabotage the movie…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Eric D. Snider (2,489) for EricDSnider.com (2,026) on 30 May 2009

The conversations it provokes will probably be more enjoyable than the ones it depicts…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Shawn Levy (1,238) for Oregonian (1,550) on 28 May 2009

Soderbergh's experiments are gripping -- the photography, music, wobbly chronology and so on -- but the movie is more of a curiosity than anything…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Brandon Fibbs (448) for Colorado Springs Gazette (140) on 27 May 2009

While beautiful, both the film and its female lead are cold and distant…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Josh Bell (1,421) for Las Vegas Weekly (1,340) on 27 May 2009

An aesthetically pleasing experience that nevertheless feels lacking in conviction…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Kurt Loder (858) for MTV (492) on 26 May 2009

Along with directing the movie, Soderbergh shot and edited it, too, and he's given the picture a gleaming, abstract beauty…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Bryant Frazer (316) for Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus (294) on 26 May 2009

Less a sexy confection than a sly satire on capitalism. Or, more specifically, a satire on capitalists during a recession…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 25 May 2009

Sasha Grey's participation deserves to be but a footnote in the context of a compact, fascinating, meticulously constructed motion picture…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Ben Mankiewicz (74) for At the Movies (175) on 25 May 2009

As much as there is to admire about Soderbergh, his indifference to time sequencing hurts the story here…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Lisa Kennedy (833) for Denver Post (1,096) on 21 May 2009

Like its protagonist, the film is pretty to look at, but emotionally chilly; conceptually rich, but narratively unfulfilling…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)

By Robert Levin (797) for Critic's Notebook (199) on 21 May 2009

The Girlfriend Experience functions as a sharp, poignant allegory, despite its relentless focus and wealth of concise, specific detail…

Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008)
