Lie With Me (2005): Dir: Clement Virgo / Cast: Laura Lee Smith, Eric Balfour, Polly Shannon, Kate Lynch, Mayko Nguyen: You wouldn't think that a film populated with sex would be boring but that's exactly what Clement Virgo's efforts are here. It is a film about relationships within sex that starts out interesting before becoming a chore to sit through. Lauren Lee Smith plays a young woman addicted to sex. At home her parents are divorcing and she passes time by screwing everything that isn't bolted down. Structure is one act of sex after another but viewers feel no sense of emotion or care for these meat-heads. The subject matter isn't the issue here. Smith just isn't likable and the loser she links up with refers to her as a slut yet he bangs her while going with someone else. A relationship at the level operates plainly on her insecurity and his dominant nature that in turn, shelters his insecurities. No one in this peep show derives sympathy. Virgo simply spices things up with great location work, which doesn't say much for the sex. One would think that a film containing this much sexual interaction would be tempting but instead it is one long bore. Theme regards sexual addiction and there was potential for a decent film here but when you don't give a rat's ass about the characters then the only way one could lie with me during this film is if one could tolerate snoring. Score: 2 / 10

Dude, I thought this movie would have its sexy scenes and maybe have some nudity, but I was expecting a real romance.What's up with this film? It's basically a story about a girl who breathes sex 24/7 and doesn't seem to have feelings for men as any other girl in the world has. I didn't get the point of the movie. If it was pornography, it was OK. Yes, just OK, not that good because there are plenty good porn movies over there. If it was romance, it failed very hard.Also, I found lots of contradictions. If she loved him, why would she just abandon right after his father's death? If she loved him, why did she say she tried but wasn't able to? If she didn't love him, why did she make all that drama when he dumped her? And why all that rudeness to the other guy when they were about to have sex? Was she a nymphomaniac? I really enjoy Canadian films, but this one....edit: isn't that funny that all the users who have reviewed it as "extraordinary", "canadian's masterpiece", "magnificent", all have reviewed only this title and no more logged into their accounts?

Why this movie?? Seriously, what was there in the makers' minds while they were making this?? Is this intended to be a porn movie? If yes, then why did they conduct the screenings for this in several film festivals? If no, then what the heck is all those explicit scenes of the movie about?? They tried drawing a line between love and lust, but ends up nowhere!! The movie is full of explicit stuff, lot of nudity, sex etc etc But if they give some good message at the end, it would have been a good venture. But now, after watching the movie, I regret of watching complete porn stuff, which I doesn't like to watch at all.. The director, please do not make such movies again… The only beautiful part of the movie was two long runs, they were shot beautifully. Nothing else, absolute CRAP!!

Clément Virgo's 'Lie With Me' is pretty much your usual forgettable porn masquerading as art type movie. Yes, there is plenty of nudity and explicit sex scenes which I don't mind as long as it's relevant to the film (otherwise I can just go and watch porn instead) but this film hardly has any depth to tell a convincing story. Not only is the plot supershallow the story itself is full of inconsistencies. Lauren Lee Smith is an otherwise good actress but I wonder what motivated her to do this piece of trash. Eric Balfour is quite terrible and none of the other actors are noticeable. The hand-held camera-work tries to create a voyeuristic effect but it fails to hold interest. 'Lie With Me' fails as a feature film but as soft porn it might work.
