"Sasha Grey does have talent!"
 
   OMG, Sasha Grey has the lead role in a Steven Soderbergh movie. He wanted to use her naturalism from a wealth of sexual experience that she has.

I knew she was going to get somewhere, she said several times she had plans outside of porn.


Shes probably going to make more money from this film than all of her porn films combined!

   LAST EDITED ON 18-Nov-09 AT 05:26 PM (PST)
 
I rented The Girlfriend Experience last week, and had high hopes that Sasha Grey would be the exception to the rule, and be a porn actress with a talent for acting. Unfortunately I feel that she held the film back because her acting skills could not really compare to those of a professional actor. Since the film was not erotic and had no sex scenes, why bother to cast a porn actress when she might not have a full set of acting skills? Soderbergh seems to have created an advertising gimmick with his casting of Sasha. Have you seen Center of the World by academy award winning director Wayne Wang? I felt that he dealt with the hobby in a much more insightful and dramatic style. And his lead actress, Molly Parker, was much more convincing in her role.

If a director is to use a porn actress, he should at least try and present her specialties -- something that other actresses can not do -- and show Sasha's ability to do something truly erotic in front of a camera. But I'm not a Sasha hater -- I think that Sasha is a charismatic porn actress and would like to see her get another shot at a mainstream film, but I have to wonder if that will happen.

Sasha is one fucking gorgeous woman, though.

   Ebert gave GFE 4 stars which is a rarity for him. Nearly anything can get 3 stars, not many things get 4.

He said Sasha's acting ability may not be ready for Steppenwolf yet, but is right for this part. Steppenwolf is a renowned theater company where some of the finest actors have honed their skills.

I guess he sees raw talent. Maybe she'll get better.

The movie itself was a box office dud. It only had a budget of $1.7 million (so she didn't get rich off of her salary) and it made less than $1 million at the box office. It has probably broken even on DVD sales, but only because the budget was so low.

yeah...i didnt see it...i just saw glimpses of the clips for it, here and there....its an artsy-fartsy movie, so prolly expect alot of dialogue and narration all through out...typical indy-film...

now, if they would've integrated hard core sex scenes in that movie, i'm sure we'd be talking about a more lucrative film at the box office...but, they've since gotten rid of jack-shacks for theatres after the 80's or so...so, this wouldve ended up as direct to DVD flick anyways...
personally, i like those softcore flixx on skinamax and such...they feature true XXX-stars and even though simulated, the sex scenes are still hot...knowing the pornstars are doing themselves anyways...LOL!

Hey, I admit I don't know what makes one movie a 4-Star and another a dud, but - OT don't you love this World a little better knowing Sasha Grey inhabits the same plane as us?

I'd hit it.

So would you.

(so would the girls too)

   I don't think this movie was a hit, and she's not a mainstream star so she probably didn't get any part of any profit it made anyway. So not sure she will make bank from this one. All it might do is get her cast in something else if any producers think like Roger Ebert.

Just to offer a different opinion & perspective. I would highly recommend the movie to someone who wants to see an astute picture of a certain lifestyle and its players.

I thought it was a very good movie and well done especially considering the low budget and how quickly it was produced. I found it to be an interesting and realistc study of the characters and lifestyles portrayed, and the abscence of steamy sex and lots of action enhanced that aspect of it. Given her part I felt Sasha provided a very good, convincing, and natural seeming performance.

Personally, I thought it was cliché. I went to Netflix and started streaming it somewhere in the first third: She is picked up from a "date" by a "driver" (cannot say whether her character is managed by him) and he asks "how it went". She said it was "OK". However, the client is "very well endowed" and she cannot perform for long. On the other hand the client is also "very good-looking" so at least she also enjoyed herself... No knock on Ms. Grey (who I like) but it just did not hold my interest.

Incidentally, the definition of "GFE" that Ms. Grey and her interviewer in the above segment come up with is laughable as well. Anyone here rememeber "Soapland", the last "provocative insight" into the world of AMPs? That was a dud as well...

i think she looks like a pretty and cool looking co-ed chick....in my eyes she is no striking beauty and i would not look back at her in passing...with that said, i have standards in watching my porn...if a girl is not strikingly gorgeous to look at, then she better have some sort of personality thats gonna make me like her...a good example of both is jesse jane...she has the looks that i like and the personality at the same time.....sasha has neither....to me, sasha is boring, all the way around...she looks like a dead fish when a dude is laying pipe on her...she doesnt interest me...the only reason why i even know of her is that her bio mentions she is an asian-mix...now that i look at her, she's not even that exotic looking....and to tell you the truth, next to olivia munn - olivia should be the pornstar....(i wish!)

   Robert Ebert is a douche bag. GFE is one pathetic movie. Listen to the commentary tract, both Sasha Grey and Stephen Soderbergh are clueless about the psyche of an escort. Sasha Grey is a narcissist without talent as an actor. I havent seen her porno work but I expect that she has talent in that genre of film acting. The cinematography was nice in GFE but the acting through out GFE was vapid. Soderbergh is a great film maker as the movie Traffic will attest, but he is not tuned into the psychology of working girls.

Fellini's Nights of Cabiria is a great film, and Tokyo Decadence is an excellent contemporary film. Whore with Theresa Russell is an interesting film. Working Girls by director Lizzy Borden is an excellent portrayal of call girl. Another great performance is made by Elizabeth Taylor in Butterfield 8.

GFE has some redeeming qualities in terms of filmmaking, I have been meaning to watch the alternate edit, however the acting and screen writing merit zero point zero.

sorry to chime in here, but i just love to watch her scenes. i have her tops after how she treats the dude in her scenes. she is now in my top list to watch!

watching her porn scenes makes me ache all over... she just owns the scene as to the acting involved. did not matter who the dude was and made you completely thought it was hentai without the whips and chain.

she had that this type casted in the industry when she started doing gonzo so i don't know about her gang bang scenes now! Soderbergh picked her cause she is young. the natural-"ism" casted was not for the wealth of experience but rather her persona out in the porn world! he was hoping the college crowd would support his movies more.

i think she will definitely make more money in porn now because of this film and not the other way around. mainstream america has not yet accepted our hobby so why not a starlet with the porn background! she's still young but as to the porn industry, the life span for any actress is a pretty short one!

i think she'll have more of a talent when she realizes to become a provider after the career in porn...

   Interesting how she explains GFE as really acting like the new girlfriend; getting to know the guy, actually caring about him. How did RBGFE turn into FS plus rimming?
