- Synopsis
- A distaff version of Last Tango in Paris, Clement Virgo's sultry Lie With Me follows twenty-something Leila (Lauren Lee Smith) over the course of a particularly steamy summer. Leila is a carnal adventurer, addicted to anonymous sex - well, sex of any kind, actually. When she's not cruising Toronto's Queen Street for possible conquests (preferably as many as possible at one time), she's prowling nightclubs and parties or at home watching porn. Demanding and commanding, she's completely in charge during all of her encounters, stage-directing her partners regardless of their wishes. Leila is on a quest for physical satisfaction, not love or emotion. But, slowly, things change; as she puts it, there's something gnawing away inside of her that she's determined to deal with.
Enter David (Eric Balfour), a lean hipster who immediately catches Leila's eye. As evinced by the tender way he cares for his aging, ailing father (played by veteran actor Don Francks), David isn't like her other partners: he wants a lot more than just meaningless sex. Leila's prized autonomy is further disturbed by the news that her parents are breaking up. Her mother (Kate Lynch) turns needy, while her father (Ron White) slips into pot-fuelled lethargy.- Awards

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"With its drawn-out last act and sentimental ending, pic is a long way from being the Gen-Y Last Tango in Paris it would like to think it is."
-
"A thrust in the right direction."
-
"Director Clement Virgo, working with his partner Tamara Faith Berger's short, snappy novel, Lie With Me, strives to get beyond titillation and largely succeeds."
-
"[L]ike anything that flirts with the pornographic, 'Lie With Me' bores."
