Lie with Me (2005)
7/10

I saw this movie a week ago. It's not big-studio, big fanfare, big stars. For the genre it's in, it still has some powerfully credible inner searching, credible sex, kinky voyeurism, and believable emotional drama. Sub-plots include sensitive treatment of elderly parents that seems out of character at first, but develops a lot more depth to the main characters. The Sex and Nudity is beautifully filmed - sometimes playful, sometimes intense, only superficial when that's what the plot requires. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the acting, the plot, and those insights that give us 'redeeming social value'. The cast includes at least 4 stars who need to be seen again: Lauren Lee Smith, Eric Balfour, Polly Shannon, Kate Lynch. (Of the last two, I can't recall which was the 'Girlfriend' and which was the 'Cousin getting Married' -- but both were valuable supporting roles with excellent lines that deserved more quotes.)
