Oh, the pains of first love. Many a film has been created in memory of it, so the struggles of the protagonist of Lie With Me would likely be familiar. But what Lie With Me does so well is the way it depicts Stéphane Belcourt’s perspective, alternating between his late return and the memories that only he alone holds of his first love, the memories that still continue to make a mark in his life and writing. Leading man Guillaume de Tonquédec is able to subtly capture the anguish in his performance, and Victor Belmondo capture the hope to learn another side of his dad, but it is newcomers Jérémy Gillet and Julien De Saint Jean that capture the chemistry that makes the Lie With Me so compelling to watch.
