Didn't work for me. It's an interesting stylistic experiment and I appreciated some of the things that Soderbergh was going for (the recurring theme of currency, monetary or physical) but Sasha Grey is utterly charmless. The character of Chelsea calls for surgical, objective dist...( read more)
Pure Soderbergh: distinct, polished, but unbearably irritating at times. But, of course, the lesson to take from here is that porn starts can act.

I don't really know what good this movie was supposed to be, but I found it to be a complete waste of time. The story itself is just attention grabbing enough that you don't want to turn it off, but the ending doesn't resolve anything.
