LIE WITH ME is one of the few good erotic films I've seen. I don't believe that there is something like a typical "women's erotic film". But like many others - men included - I'm bored of stereotype characters and narration in most erotic films. LIE WITH ME is produced and directed with the same elaborateness one would expect from a "normal" independent feature film. This is what makes the explicit sex scenes work for me. And the actors: Lauren Lee Smith (who also starred in "The L-Word") and Eric Balfour (great minor role in "Six Feet Under") inspire the protagonists with their ideosyncratic characteristics and physical presence on the screen and make the story come to live. They are NOT equipped with big "perfect" breasts or big perfect six-packs. They are beautifully normal - which is why I can relate to them.
