4. THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE -- My Top 10 Favorite Movies of 2009 (so far)


This movie really blew me away.

In my mind this is the best movie that Steven Soderbergh has ever made. Something about this movie wrenches at the ambiguity of wants and desires. It is dark, sad and longing.

It follows the tribulations of Chelsea, a high class New York City prostitute, that provides the girlfriend experience to her clients – basically pretending to be their girlfriend.

While so much of Chelsea's life feels detached from feeling, there are strong undercurrents of emotion simmering throughout this movie.

I guarantee that this movie will leave you conflicted and thought-struck.
