| Honest, psychologically complex. (by joejoe-6) |
| Lie With Me is 100% honest. The sex is over-hyped as being X-rated. The sex scenes are long, filmic and beautifully shot. The film is not really about sex, but about the psychological. The female lead enjoys sex and pleasure and shuts out love and intimacy until she meets the male lead who is very intimate and emotional. Not a scene is wasted. Supporting characters comment on relationships, loneliness, the body as something that is unsexy. The leads are physically beautiful, lovely to watch from a filmic sense, and give naked performances. There are people in everyday life like this and <more> |
| the naked truth (by brad-436) |
| Probably one of the most honest depictions of the contemporary urban relationship dilemma to hit the big screen in this or any other year. Lauren Lee Smith delivers a performance that is, to quote David Spanner, Vancouver Province, "a performance that's likely to be as good as any you'll see from a Vancouver actor - make that any actor - this year". I couldn't agree more. The picture unfolds as a dark, yet very real glimpse into the life of a young, promiscuous,and emotionally challenged woman. Lauren Lee Smith was perfectly cast in an extremely challenging role that <more> |
| Canada's best (by lauracombden) |
| This movie is the best thing i've seen come out of Canada in awhile. It shows Toronto beautifully, in a way I've never seen in a film before. I think it is a very honest portrayal of women and sex. Not all women, but the women who cannot grasp what love is in relation to sex. This movie is entirely about love, and I think everyone's ridiculous obsession over the sexual content is underestimating the story. Everyone should see this film, it needs our support, and not just because you see sex, inside and out. You should see it because it explores love in a way that has never been <more> |
| Truly Magnetic, Realistic and Raw! (by lrlucier) |
| This is one of the most realistic portrayals of what it is like to be a woman who is sitting on the fine line between sex and love. Can you truly have both? Can you love someone and have great sex? I loved how this film captures the magnetism between two people.The heat, passion and possibility of love derived from attraction. The fact that sometimes you don't see love until it's too late. When you have it do you truly appreciate it? It also makes you see the addiction of those feelings, of being complete yet helpless in the arms of another and never wanting that feeling to stop. The <more> |
| Hot Damn! (by Spuzzlightyear) |
| I love Canada. You never know what can come out our country in terms of movie product. Sometimes I always thing we're just this cute little country making these gab fests like 'Decline of The American Empire" etc. But sometimes, we let our hair down and make total smut fests like with me, that make me stand up and cheer! The movie details one woman's obsession with being a nymphomaniac, he soon finds a guy to boff who looks all seedy as hell. But it turns out that guy has,YES! A heart of gold! And it almost appears that the man wants to reform her from her ways to have, you <more> |
| Its funny, but I found this story very similar with my own... (by banknote-1) |
| I saw this film with my wife together, and found storyline very similar with us. We met on party for the first time, and sex was the main feature that launch our love. And we ask each other for our names only after the sex. But I understood that I was fond of her without delay... Nowadays we live together in happiness for three years, and still want each other every day.*** to the purpose: Its very romantic film, and main idea is thats love and sex should go together, no way for sex without love. And no love without sex. The atmosphere of pictures is sunny and aerial... in spite of sex <more> |
| Lie with Me is HOT (by dustie129) |
| I saw Lie with Me at another recent screening and I loved it. As a 30 something woman I felt that this movie really spoke to me. I got from it all the things I loved about Lost in Translation and the Sunset/Sunrise movies with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Visually I think it is stunning, and the sex is really hot, but never gratuitous or porn-like. The supporting characters are strong as well and nicely developed in very economical scenes. The film never drags and there is not a single wasted frame. Eric Balfour smolders and I totally bought Lauren Lee Smith's journey of self-discovery. I <more> |
| Sexually Free Woman.....some spoiler content (by scorpio_grrrl) |
| This movie really captures what it is like to be a sexually adventurous woman who is comfortable with herself and with her longing for passion. This movie explores the meaning and experience of sexual tension, and does it in a very artistic manner. This move naturalizes sex - and captures some safe sex practices - and you actually see genitalia! Sex is very openly discussed throughout this movie along with a very dream-like experience of falling in love with someone.Other parts of the movie bring in real life experiences outside of the main love interest. So it is not your regular love story, <more> |
| Can't put my finger on why I like this film (by Mylo_Milk) |
| I really liked this film, and can't figure out exactly why. I wasn't interested in the sexual side of things or the "emotional journeys" of the characters , but I know that that was pretty much 90% of the content. Although as far as sex scenes go, I thought they well, the ones with David and Leila were fantastic. They seemed to convey that choke-on-your-breath emotion rather than just have two bodies vigorously bumping uglies. I loved the soundtrack, and not just the music - the atmospheric track really made me feel, well, the atmosphere! Does anyone know where this was <more> |
