When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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

Nymphomaniac Leila (Lauren Lee Smith) goes to a party. She catches the attention of David (Eric Balfour) and Victoria (Polly Shannon). They watch her having sex with a stranger in the alley and start having sex themselves. Leila's mother leaves her father. Her friend Rachel (Kristin Lehman) is giving up great sex to marry someone she loves. David starts stalking her and their perverse sexual affair grows. David is taking care of his father and Victoria is jealous.Firstly, this is not a late-night erotic B-movie. It's trying to be an artistic erotica with varying success. It has a hazy dreamy feel with soft colors and persistent narration from Leila. Leila is a compelling character for about 30 minutes before it grows tired. It becomes nothing more than two hot people having sex a lot. It's a lot of explicit nudity but the story moves way too slowly. Leila's deterioration could be much darker as well as the movie. This needs to be more than hot sex.

Well,like i said great movie,i applaud the director and actors for the simple fact that such movies are being made and that actors understand that there is a lot more to love than two people meeting, sleeping with each other and falling in love, live happily, breaking up, getting chased to an airport and then finally living happily ever after.... the truth is that the average middle class mans life is not that exciting, its boring, mundane and repetitive... we go to work and pay our loans off and then sleep.Really not much happens in our lives, except LOVE... The movie tries to capture the insecurities and the complexes that all of us carry, our baggage, be it excess porn or excess fat, we are really never truly happy with ourselves, life is a constant struggle in which we meet people, look for something, some lasting joy, but eventually we sleep around and then make up excuses and part ways or delay till we get someone new. This one takes a different view, cause no matter how perverted or lost the characters have been shown, their inherent honesty is always present and palpable... whoever they are,They are. The beginning will blow you away, i still feel it could have been extended and could have given a more surrealist pace to the movie, but i guess the director wanted to disturb the beauty of the shot and thus sends the message that its a movie about a flawed beauty. Worth it, watch it, its short, may be not all is clear and understood, but in a normal working mans life, little is.

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.
