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...
