A young woman who's formed her sexual identity around anonymous one-night-stands considers the option of a committed, monogamous relationship in this erotic psychological drama. Introduced in voiceover, the twentysomething Leila (Lauren Lee Smith) makes clear her preferences for picking up guys based on mutual, animal attraction, as well as her desire to exhibit power over men. But when she locks eyes with the tall, dark, and handsome David (Eric Balfour), her priorities begin to change, and she finds herself wanting more from a man than just hot sex. Each partner has his or her own baggage -- David is taking care of an ailing father, while Leila is caught in the middle of her parents' messy separation. Already familiar with the concept of sexual liberation, Leila finds she has to be emotionally vulnerable as well if she wants to hang on to David. Directed by Canadian independent filmmaker Clement Virgo, Lie With Me had its world premiere at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide

| Today's answer to last decade's "Red Shoe Diaries," LIE WITH ME imagines that it has something on its mind besides titillation. It doesn't. Basically one copulation after another, with occasional dumb voice-overs about sex, love and life, there's even a bit of hard-core on view. Fans of Eric Balfour (Claire Fisher's first boyfriend on "Six Feet Under") will see more of this hunk than they probably will ever be treated to again, and that may be enough for a rent (it was for me). The real surprise here is that the movie is distributed by THINK FILMS, a company that, so far, has totaled up quite an impressive list of worthwhile titles. In addition to being pretentious junk, this one belies the distributor's name. |
