DVD Reviews of Lie With MeDVD Review: I just found it boring Summary: 1 StarsI thought the plot was weird and really did not enjoy the movie. I turned it off halfway
DVD Review: Third Shelf Trashy Novel Summary: 5 StarsThere is just not much going on here. It's not strong at anything. Perhaps a candidate for a drive-in classic but where is the real tragedy ?
DVD Review: Lauren Lee Smith fans only Summary: 4 StarsBasically this is a thinly veiled good movie with some sex scenes which are the main drawing point for Lauren Lee Smith fans. Not much plot to this film but mainly it is a cult following type movie of fans of Lauren Lee Smith. If you remember Mutant X you will know why Lauren Lee Smith has her following of fans and this film doesn't leave those fans in the cold. Essentially this film is fluff more than anything but to Lauren fans they will enjoy the thin plot and heavy use of sex scenes to tell her story.
DVD Review: Poor story line Summary: 2 StarsThis movie has a fair share of nudity, but a weak story line that I won't waste time to relate. Enough said
DVD Review: Intersection of Love and Desire Summary: 3 StarsClement Virgo's Lie With Me is a very unconventional love story. There are moments in our life that lead us into new territory. What starts out as a casual encounter can turn into something deeper and more powerful.
Leila (Lauren Lee Smith) is a young woman living alone. One night she crashes a party and flirts with David (Eric Balfour). In all respects the relationship should have ended there as he was with his girlfriend Victoria (Polly Shannon) but it doesnt. What happens over the course of that summer is the story that makes up Lie With Me. The central question to be asked is when do emotions come into an affair that is purely sexual. When does the real world intrude on our conception of what love is. The performances in the film are groundbreaking for both of the young stars. The erotic nature of the film may put some viewers off (or turn them on) depending on their perceptions coming into the film. Given a chance the story the film tells is quite real this is not the made up love story that we are used to. It's gritty and dirty like life itself. Things do not always go the way that we plan for them to go.
The standard definition disc offers a photo gallery, the theatrical trailer and an interesting commentary by Virgo and Smith.
Description of Lie With MeControversial brave and extremely sexually explicit Clement Virgo's LIE WITH ME examines the often raw relationship between David (Eric Balfour) and Leila (Lauren Lee Smith) two emotionally damaged young people living in Toronto. Each feels trapped in a bleak life and attempts to find some kind of escape with the other.System Requirements:Running Time 93 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?NR UPC:?821575534154 Manufacturer No:?TF-53415 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 Cl?ment 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
