Apparently the director forgot to graduate from film school. There wasn't a single redeeming quality about this film: choppy editing, amateurish photography and lighting, terrible music, flat performances, awful pacing. The only thing I found shocking about this film is how boring it was.
In my mind, if you intend on shocking your audience (which the director may or may not have intended), you need to establish some sort of a story with some sort of characters with some sort of motivations causing some sort of interest in the audience. Then, with explicit sexuality I may feel some form of tension. With this turkey, the only tension I felt was the resistance of a remote control button.
Is it just me, but when two people are talking in a club, aren't they usually screaming over music? Wait, there was no music playing in the club; all the people were just standing and dancing to nothing.
"Lie With Me" is easily the most boring movie I've seen this year. Next time I'll take the title more literally and take it to bed.
