It’s not an easy film or particularly arresting in anything other than its sexuality and shock casting. While The Girlfriend Experience doesn’t do nearly as well in developing deep characters or much of a story, that’s not really what it’s trying to do. Soderbergh successfully nails his targets and it’s a strong and often beautiful indictment of America’s commoditization of feelings. Soderbergh isn’t trying to make things easier for people, and the elliptical non-linear storytelling makes that clear from the start, but this passive approach to the relationship seems at odds with how deeply integrated the film’s themes are. In a way this is its strength, but Grey in particular isn’t quite able to pull off her part, so the couple’s motivations and feelings are always vague. Chelsea and Chris aren’t a general case they’re a specific relationship with its own particular quirks, which makes the film a bit less universal than it appears at first glance. The relationship at the center of The Girlfriend Experience is a little less interesting than what lies at its periphery. This may ultimately make the film less timeless, but for now, it’s perhaps the strongest part of movie. Given the thematic context, it’s particularly apt and infuses The Girlfriend Experience with vitality and a certain level of urgency, both criticizing and commenting on the last few years of economic waste and the current era of desperation and disillusionment. It’s a film created by and for its time and captures not just the disappointment of its protagonists, but also of an entire nation.
