Set in the weeks leading up to the 2008 presidential election, The Girlfriend Experience is five days in the life of Chelsea (adult film star Sasha Grey in her mainstream film debut), an ultra high-end Manhattan escort who offers more than sex to her clients – “the girlfriend experience.” Chelsea thinks she has her life totally under control; she feels her future is secure because she runs her own business her own way, makes $2,000 an hour, and has a devoted boyfriend who accepts her lifestyle.

The latest film from Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh, The Girlfriend Experience is a sexy, gorgeously shot time capsule from the not-too-distant past.

Directed by Steven Soderbergh. USA. 2009. 77 minutes. Rated R.
