Lie with Me

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")

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!!!

while i do appreciate the idea behind this movie( that is mainly - a young woman who uses sex in order to be able to disguise her feelings), the negatives of this movie far FAR outweigh its positives.

its somewhat of a popular phenomenon in these post-modern times, for producers to use sex as an art form. i can respect that, but instead of fitting sex into the "whole", this pretentious drivel is obsessed with showing needless flesh(to the point it actually becomes boring, to tell you the truth) instead of trying to tell a story, this is just a bunch of sex scenes with some half a**d-redundant female narrative slapped here and there so he could call this junk "art", which leads me to think its because he wanted to be either extremely "controvertial", or "uber liberal"(which is why i suspect the movie is popular amongst the female crowd mostly, and not for its artistic merits).

while the above mentioned reason is mainly why the film falls flat on its face, add to that the god-Awful acting(David looks as if he has been pulled of some late night skin flick where he butchers the art of acting on a regular basis)along with a ridiculously primitive pacing(yea, non linear plots can work, as David lynch hauntingly proved over and over again, but on "lie with me", its just laughable). and this movie is a complete and utter failure, unless maybe you couldn't find anything else on late night TV to jerk off to.

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!

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.
