Product Description:
Lie with me is the story of a girl who likes sex and a guy who also likes sex and all the empty emotions that flow around them.. Thats pretty much it.Studio: Image EntertainmentRelease Date: 10/23/2007Starring: Lauren Lee SmithRun time: 93 minutesRating: UrDirector: Clement Virgo
Amazon.com:
Shot in sunny Toronto and set to a dreamy score, Lie With Me looks and sounds like an art film, but the end result isn't quite so lofty. The plot is thin and the dialogue superfluous, but no matter--Canada's Clément Virgo (Love Come Down) just wants to turn you on and he has enlisted two attractive, uninhibited young performers to assist in his aims. Leila (Lauren Lee Smith, The L Word) and David (Eric Balfour, Six Feet Under) meet at a party. He's with his girlfriend, but finds himself drawn to her. The feeling is mutual. She's alone, but quickly finds an unattached hipster with whom to have a tryst. David catches her in the act. Instead of turning away, he watches. They start seeing each other immediately afterwards. "I'm not hooked on danger, [I'm] hooked on sex," Leila claims, but she isn't exactly the most trustworthy narrator. She wants a purely physical relationship, while David wants something more. They return to their old lives, but the obsession refuses to die. Based on the novella by Virgo's partner, Tamara Berger, Lie With Me plays like a low-budget cross between Adrian Lyne's overrated 9 1/2 Weeks and Wayne Wang's underrated The Center of the World. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

- Soft Core Porn
This movie wasn't really satisfying - I felt like I watching a porno the entire time, with occasional random scenes of either of the leads doing something that might be considered heartwarming or normal.These two people don't seem to have a life at all - we see the woman working once or twice, and never the man.They are trapped in a sex dream with each other which only gets more intense as their lives start becoming strange on the family front.Not really a great movie to watch, unless you are ...

- Extremes
I was skeptical about watching this movie because of the mixed reviews, saying it's not very emotional, even empty in places. But its not empty at all, very powerful in fact. The main character explains who she is from the very beginning. It sets the tone for understanding what she does throughout the movie. If you think love must come before sex then you may not like this movie. If you think words should come before sex you may not like it either. Sexual people can express themselves extremely well ...

- They Can't Show Enough Skin to Make This One Appealing
Ugly people having sex, smothered in tattoos.No, its not a hardcore porn movie.It inhabits the middle distance between hardcore and soft core porn.It is the kind of movie that businessmen pay $4.00 to watch in the privacy of their room at the La Quinta while on a business trip.Erections sans cumshots.
Ask yourself why David (Eric Balfour, a greasy, unattractive dude) would leave the only attractive woman in the movie, Victoria (played by Polly Shannon) for someone as just this side ... Read More
Rating: - Quiet, yet moving
This movie has an art house/independent film presentation.No wasted dialogue (except for a few of the voiceovers).Powerful love/sex scenes.Nice chemistry between the two leads.
Rating: - disapointing!
How this movie got as high a rating as it did is beyond me. I bought it for the ratings but was sadly disappointed. No plot, poor acting, little nudity and only in lead actress (and actor) no others. Even the body of the lead actress left something to be desired (extremely thin with not much muscle tone except legs, and a long torso) For you females, the lead actor had a nice body but he carried himself like a stiff robot and, as I said, the acting was very forced and contrived. What plot there was was ... Read More
