That is one catchy title. You'd be hard pressed to find someone who didn't perk up hearing Sex, Lies, and Videotape (whether in interest or disgust). Some people will assume it is pornography, others an erotic thriller. But it is neither, and instead is a slow building, captivating drama about four people. This was one of Steven Soderbergh's first films, but his work on it is just as impressive as his work now. For a flick about sex and the complications that may arise from it, there is no nudity or even any explicit (or risque) sex scenes. The story revolves around the interactions between characters, and what they mean to each other. Some have a positive influence, others negative, but everyone is changed by the end. Sex, Lies, and Videotape was not what I expected, and that's okay. It was far better than I would have imagined.Genre - Drama (3.5)
