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 Clement 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

 Stupid movie December 4, 2008
It is a very stupid movie, no depth into it, no meaning at all to the movie, very stupid story.
 Soft Core Porn November 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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 watching it with someone else for pure pleasure.
 Extremes November 1, 2008

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 through a sexual experience, few words spoken, and the act connects them unlike words could. This movie is about understanding extremely sexual people and their search to make themselves whole by connecting with another person. No doubt what they are really searching for is another extremely sexual person. But they are also going to use their bodies to test other people until they find the right person. If that's not OK with you, then don't watch the movie. You won't like it. But if you want to see how two extremely sexual people discover that they are complete by each other, then you'll love it. Liking it or not depends on how you feel about extreme sexuality.
 They Can't Show Enough Skin to Make This One Appealing September 25, 2008

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 of ugly, Leila (Lauren Lee Smith).
Like most faux art movies, sex moves the plot, rather than the plot incorporating the sex in a meaningful way. The "actors" mumble their lines which are worthless dialogue anyway and not worth hearing.
I would not only add a parental advisory for this film, but would also add the following: "This movie is for immature adults only. Viewer discretion advised and your self-esteem is at stake."
Quiet, yet moving September 24, 2008

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.
