Preview: The Girlfriend Experience (2009)

Synopsis:

Her boyfriend charges $125 an hour as a personal trainer. She charges $2,000 an hour as a professional prostitute.

• Poster: C

Review:

This poster, although as original as anything I've seen in some time, feels pointless and isn't likely to engage an audience to want to go to the theater.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

Steven Soderbergh, despite getting the opportunity to direct mainstream features, continues to make arthouse films, following up 2005's Bubble with this enigmatic choice of a film that the trailer seems to suggest isn't really about much except how the boyfriend might react to finding out she's a high-dollar callgirl.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• April 17, 2009
