The Girlfriend Experience
recent steven soderberg movie. about all anyone said when it was released last year was that it starred an ex-porn star and wasn't any good.
turns out the ex-porn star angle is irrelevant, and the movie is pretty decent. not great, but different and interesting. it's really just a look at a character, a somewhat high class escort, with a sketch of a story, told in a broken up kind of way that soderberg is into.
as always, the cinematography (he shoots his own movies) is mind-blowing. every shot is beautiful. i'd say worth the rental, for something different.
