Review of Girlfriend Experience (2008) by Dan H — 29 Jun 2009

Steven Soderbergh has made a film that does look beautiful, employs his usual flair for non-linear narrative in an interesting way and is certainly effective in its attempts to convey the emotional detachment of its main character through the filmâ??s mood as well as through its lead performance but the detachment also works against the film too making it a film that can be appreciated on a technical level but one that is difficult to engage with or enjoy on an emotional level.
