The Girlfriend Experience (2009)

 
 
A drama set in the days leading up to the 2008 Presidential election, and centered on a high-end Manhattan call girl meeting the challenges of her boyfriend, her clients, and her work. 
 
Intriguing low-budget study of relationships dictated by economic restraint, but a bit pedestrian and talkative.
 
Maltin ** 1/2: "Fragmented, pseudo-Godardian study of prostitution as a metaphor for capitalism is generally engrossing but ultimately feels shallow and leaves little lasting impression."
