Netflix Minute: The Girlfriend Experience

Netflix Minute is a weekly feature highlighting a title from Netflix's catalog of instant view films. If you want to spend a night snuggled up with a bag of popcorn and don't want to drive to the video store, this is for you.

Steven Soderbergh is a pretty prolific director. He knows what he wants to do and he gets it done. With a large stable of solid, popular actors clearly willing to work on his projects, Soderbergh dominates the mainstream at will while still commanding relative unknowns in small films you may have never heard of. In the case of The Girlfriend Experience, he caught a little flak for blurring the line between the two, seemingly casting an adult film actress as a means to sensationalize what would otherwise be an art-house project.
