Erotic, sexy and seductive, the hot project of softcore "Lie With Me" is not a complete triumph because there's a flawed plot that fails to convince the more experienced viewer. As a drama, there's some in's and out's but it's mostly out; as a softcore, it's ten times better than many of its genre because a) the cast is deeply involved with their nudity/sex scenes, and they're good looking to boot; b) the sequences are hot, nicely shot and those are the moments worthy of view. Eric Balfour is insanely hot, does a lot of full-frontal scenes (huge debate on the boards about...nevermind) and the words I need to describe him with accuracy cannot be used here. However, a movie that seems filled with a purpose shouldn't depend exclusively on the sex, no matter how intense and awesome those scenes are. That's why the thumbs down to this.

Moving a little closer: Leila (Lauren Lee Smith) is a beautiful young woman with a relentless sex-drive going from one man to another in order to satisfy her sexual needs. It's all about being casual. One day, she meets the handsome David (Balfour) and things get very interesting. They both know what the other is all about, so they go forward with just one night stand that evolves to a few more days until it changes the whole game when...David falls for the girl. Back and forth between their involvement, we follow the lives those characters are leading, with David taking care of his sick father; and Leila's parents getting through a divorce - I think the film could go without those subplots, they're infinite sad.

Gently touching you: the movie is told by Leila's perspective with her thoughts about losing herself through sex and all the effect it has on her. And that's why the movie focus on her doubt to make a decision: sticking by David and finally finding something new or going back to the arms of strangers. With a better script, this part would be fantastic.

Now, I must push you away: The problem lies in the fact that it doesn't build anything deep that can actually provide that Leila and David are in fact, in love. They only had the basics with each other, what they knew the other could provide (sex) and somehow he's the one who cares so much about her without knowing her (but he tries!); and she's the one so scared about closeness, running away from him and later on going back to her hedonistic search for pleasure and not getting it anymore(the 'meltodwn masturbation' scene is real low and sad). To the writers (and most audiences, I'm afraid) this is a proof of love, building a relationship: a different touch, body to body and there you have it, love grows. I've seen this happen in life but it doesn't mean I truly trust it. Has to be more. Gotta be a little more cerebral, you have to know the inside behind the facade, the feelings, the vicissitudes of a person. Sex and intimacy is a big and wonderful step but it's just a step to several others; and sometimes you can even remove it from the equation and still have a meaningful love and understanding of the loved one.

It's nice on the eyes but it's so simplistic, slightly mushy and in desperate need of a good dialogue scene. Where are the bloody words? Though I don't fancy much analogies and stuff, but I have to use one here. "Lie With Me" is like that dreamy hot person you fool around for a night, you two have a great time doing fun stuff in bed and whatever the place but when it comes to talking and sharing other experiences that doesn't revolve around intercourse, it's a big fat meh. Not a complete waste of time but you may feel a little disappointed afterwards. 5/10

I liked the characters in this film and the actors playing them. But the truth is this film falls short in its effort to examine sex addiction vs. the complexity of love and relationships. I suppose it is easy to dismiss this work as a well produced soft porn flick. It seems to want to be much more. The problem is the characters are not all that well developed. We do not know what the two principal characters find in each other that will transcend their heavy breathing. They say they love each other eventually, but who knows why? Frankly I have know idea what the lead female character has to offer in terms of substance. At least the male character is seen reading Steppenwolf and not the cliff notes version, either. So I guess we can deduce he has depth and intelligence. The female lead, however, seems to work in photo developing shop as a clerk. Yet she has quite a varied wardrobe which she somehow is able to afford. That's about it in terms of her personality and depth. But they do have attractive bods and I must guiltily admit I enjoyed that. If the sex scenes were edited out, the theater would be empty half way through any screening!!!

This movie disappointed me a bit, as I expected a lot more when I saw the trailer. We cannot say it's totally disinteresting, because I think the main idea is good and quite original, but the way this movie was done is far from being great. It's too slow and dialogues hardly exist. At some moments it turns out boring…

In my opinion it pretends to be a complex movie and tries to mess up with ours heads when it totally changes the feelings which are supposed to exist in a relationship between two people just by sex, but it didn't achieve that goal, because it's too superficial at some crucial moments and characters aren't themselves too deep. There isn't really a plot, but a sequence of scenes, most of them sex scenes! But just sex is not enough to keep a relationship or even to make a movie (except if it is a porno…), and sometimes this film seems to be just sex!

Beside that, the entire "story" is too centered in the main character. From the beginning it seems we are seeing a monologue, a "secret diary", where she tells us her intimacy, her desires, her obsession about sex and, most important of all, her incapacity to love! But her "secret diary" is not made from words…sex is the only way to communicate! Once again, it's not enough

I was totally enthralled with this film from beginning, to end. There really isn't much dialogue in this film, but I believe that is what makes it that much more emotional, and sincere. This is true life, it feel totally real- the situations and the sex scenes, not at all like other wannabes. I haven't seen a film like this in a while. It was very refreshing. I won't lie, I'm a sucker for love stories, and this one just happen to be done really well. I recommend this film to those who want to see something different from all the weak love films out there. I've seen quite a few, and Iknow those who decide to watch this film will not be disappointed.

There I was, lying in bed, finished the end of The Tonight Show looking for something to watch. When I read the description of the movie showing Lauren Lee Smith - I automatically thought about Lara from The L Word. I always wanted to see more of her (other than The Last Kiss). She's so beautiful and delicate so it was very interesting see her play this role. The chemistry between her and Eric Balfour was hot and naughty, but also romantic. It seems to me that she really had to let her guard down to play this role and I thought she was superb. Also, I no longer see Eric Balfour as Milo from 24 anymore, he has a nice body and booty. I recommend this film for just about anyone who is tired of the same old boring and predictable love scenes. This move is far from the norm in the department.

Apparently the director forgot to graduate from film school. There wasn't a single redeeming quality about this film: choppy editing, amateurish photography and lighting, terrible music, flat performances, awful pacing. The only thing I found shocking about this film is how boring it was.

In my mind, if you intend on shocking your audience (which the director may or may not have intended), you need to establish some sort of a story with some sort of characters with some sort of motivations causing some sort of interest in the audience. Then, with explicit sexuality I may feel some form of tension. With this turkey, the only tension I felt was the resistance of a remote control button.

Is it just me, but when two people are talking in a club, aren't they usually screaming over music? Wait, there was no music playing in the club; all the people were just standing and dancing to nothing.

"Lie With Me" is easily the most boring movie I've seen this year. Next time I'll take the title more literally and take it to bed.

I was truly surprised by the emotional depth and haunting quality of this film, which could easily have felt merely cheap and tawdry because of the abundant nudity and almost explicit sex that dominates it. The excellence of the performances, however, acts as a counterbalance to the sexual titillation.

In acting this tale of the struggle between sheer lust and real love, both leads radiate a subtlety of emotion through facial expression and body posture that makes the largely non-conversational characters "speak" in articulated ways. The sparse voice-overs effectively assist the development of the relationship. In a society where wide sexual experimentation at early ages exposes many to the pitfalls this film explores, this is a strong statement about the human hunger for love and real relationship.

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 highly recommend this film – Hope it gets released soon!

In Toronto, the nymphomaniac Leila (Lauren Lee Smith) spends the nights dancing and having sex with men to satisfy her sex drive. Leila learns that her parents are divorcing and she is affected by their decision.

When Leila meets David (Eric Balfour), she has a torrid affair with him. David is an artist that lives with his father, who is very dependable on David. Leila and David have a complicated relationship since he is a possessive man that demands commitment but Leila does not know how to love a man and has the need of different partners in her sex life.

"Lie with Me" is a very erotic and pointless romance, with a flawed story but a charming lead couple. The writer and director Clément Virgo seems to be more interested in exploring the sex scenes with the sexy and gorgeous Lauren Lee Smith. Her face and look are very hot and she is bold in the erotic scenes. Unfortunately her character is not well developed and there is no explanation for her unstable behavior and feelings. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Deite Comigo" ("Lay Down with Me")

Not much I can say about this except it was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I don't even know if you can call it a movie, its more a softcore porn. this movie is trying to be more profound that it really is. Face facts, this is not a good porn film and not a good love story because it tries too much to be both. Basically, any movie with voice-over narration you know is in trouble because it means the story needs explanation that pictures and the actors' words cannot convey. Take away the narration and the movie would have been nothing, just 90 min of humping The ONLY reason I can think of it has 5 stars or any good reviews is because they are fake and from someone who worked on the film. do not waste you time, they owe me 90 min of my life for this junk :(

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.

This movie had some titillating moments but was generally a waste of time. The male lead came across as a complete neanderthal which made it difficult to understand why the female lead was so obsessed with him. The two lead characters were not very likable which in and of itself doesn't make for a bad movie but there is little reason given in this film as to how they turned out this way or why we should care about what happens to them. The only moments in the film that provided any depth into either of the lead characters were when they were with their fathers. Unfortunately, those moments were far too few though. This movie was about the explicit sex more than anything else and that is not a formula for a compelling movie.

I just watched this movie and automatically the first thing that popped into my head was .Lifetime special ,this was horrible even from a lifetime perspective .The main actress isn't interesting her male co star isn't interesting either .At times i wonder what why he was even there. For anyone who sits there's and says this is about love and relationships .You need to get your head checked this is about sex plain and simple . i kind of got the feeling of this being a lazy effort to resemble last tango .Fail big time at least tango had actual talented actors .I guess in a way this movie suits the talent or lack there of.Nothing artistic at all about this the director needs a serious reality check.When are people like this going to be banned from trying to pass pornographic films off art ? its insulting

Remember those warnings they used to have: "Completely concerned with sex." ? Well that about sums up this movie, too! How any of the main characters get anything done whilst being in a constant sex-addled state, is a wonder (but then again we don't see them doing much, besides each other. And dreamily day-dreaming about their next encounter.) It's watchable because, besides being decent eye candy (the settings as well as the people) it's not your typical Hollywood style movie. Indeed I had never heard of any of the actors before. The main actors do a great job with such uncomfortable material. The minor characters are also very good, to the point that some of them didn't seem like actors at all but real people going about their lives on the edge.

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 it's honest to see it up there on the big screen. A brilliant film.

Canadian art-house flick LIE WITH ME tells the tale of a sexually frustrated woman who can't connect with her sexual partners. Meaning she has no feeling for them and has never achieved a major orgasm. Finally, she runs into a hunk at a favorite club, and not only connects with him and has a mind-blowing orgasm, she falls in love. The pair love, fight, break up, get back together, fight some more, and so on. The sex scenes are steamy and realistic, so beware. You wouldn't want to watch this with your mom. And your mom definitely won't want to watch it with you. The gal is not a bad actress, although way too skinny. The guy is a major hunk, dark and brooding, and almost every gal's dream of true love. Based on a book and probably shot on a dime, but hey, it sure beats a sequel to FRANKENFISH.

Lie with me is the story of a girl who likes sex, and a guy who also likes sex and all the empty emotions that flow around them... that's pretty much it.

I couldn't even say that the plot goes downwards since it doesn't go anywhere at all. There is about one thing happening in this film and it's sex; there is no intrigue, or none that's worth being intrigued by anyway, except for "will this ever end!".Very long moments could have been cut off the movie and, in the same way, some moments could have benefited from being longer. The main characters are empty, underdeveloped and we can't feel anything for them because they're too busy having sex and that, to me, is just not interesting. As for the secondary characters, they're not even developed at all, there are many of them and they could just as well have not been there; again, not enough of the good or interesting stuff and too much of the boring empty stuff.

Another problem this movie has is it's half-ass poetic narration, it feels as tough the girl tries to say something of importance but you soon realize that she's always saying the same thing, questioning herself about life, love... and she isn't that good an actress, she looked to me like a model turned actress more than an actress, like in a bad Antonioni film, actually this would pretty much resume what I think of this movie: a lousy Antonioni film with nothing but sex and bad actresses.

From what I've heard, it's been selected in many film festivals and I don't understand why. See it, write what you think because, well, I'm kinda lost...
