One of my all time favorites.

Absolutely the worst movie.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

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 have seen a lot of soft core films got a great collection at home but this fall flat it is spectacularly boring i say.starting Lauren lee smith in lie with me 2005 plot:Leila have sex with random men she meets David & things goes as usual things don't work out between them.i saw this film few days back as a regular user of IMDb & a reviewer i always lookout of new and old films.but when i saw the reviews & IMDb page of this film i raised my expectations & thats where i fell for it its a old film made in 2005 I've seen 80s soft core films they are gold compared to this this is pure rubbish & its promoted as a erotic film but there is no erotic scenes in this film except one on the bed & sofa,it was shot very badly all in dark with limited usage of light.the director tried to present it as a art film but failed.it was released in a hurry i guess.a good example of bad filmmaking.the dialogs & cast don't matter because everything just got ruined by the director,for those who are looking for hot scenes just by looking at the poster they will be disappointed.my rating is 1/10 die with me or just waste time with me should be the name of this film..Skipp it at all cost not wort watching

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.

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.
