Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Python Hyena 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

darrenowen76 This is not a good film...it tries..and fails. The main problem i have is the acting, she is OK, he is terrible. the narration sounds like an asthmatic describing a sex fantasy, with the whole thing filmed in the style of a marks and Spencer's summer clothing advert. The sex scenes involve watching ming the merciless give a ginger bird a breast exam for an hour whilst occasionally flashing his not so large penis. Apparently this film was an exploration of relationship,love and desire. I assume the makers gave up looking and decided to go for a few drinks and left the film up to a group of sex-offenders trying to turn over a new leaf. I turned myself on by turning this off and masturbated to the sound of my refrigerator in the dark....now that was hot.

malcy700 Whilst I understand the thrill this film may have on some people, Its really an observational & revealing documentary. Western ideals have been laid bear without compunction. It shows how self gratification not only harms individuals but harms society in an aggressive manner. It all ties in with narrow minded consumerism consuming people, that's fine if it was not for the fact about how much damage is done to fundamental reality. Crime, family break ups. relationships floundering within a short frame,values are weakened to the point of a complete breakdown of morals. You may ask why do we need morals? Its more fun to do as we please. Take a look around you, see the world in America. Europe, Fragmentation stares us all in the face & we feel helpless to stem the tide of discontent.Some quarters of the world see this moral downfall & want to stop it or protect their families,even countries see it as a decadent wasteland.

netty1968 Pleasantly surprised by this film, having expected a superficial piece centering around two over-indulgent, sex obsessed 20 somethings. At times, the experience can be perceived as such, but you can't help but get drawn into the lives of the two lead characters. David is greatly portrayed by Eric Balfour, who depicts his gradual descent into lust (and love) with huge intensity. Although you become a little confused two thirds of the way through (in terms of what it is that David actually wants from his lover), the need to see how the issue is resolved keeps the viewer transfixed. Leila (played with beautiful subtlety by Lauren Lee Smith) is completing absorbing, making her sexual dalliances appear the natural behaviours of modern day society. At times, the sub plots can appear contrived, in an attempt to provide a platform for the lead characters' emotional turmoils but, in reality, it does allow an interlude to the rather explicit (if very erotic) sex scenes.I'd advise people to give this a peek, if only to observe simplistic cinema making at it's best.
