Pros: well-written, great performances, quietly thoughtful and provocative
Cons: a little too quiet for some
I read the script to sex, lies and videotape before I actually saw the movie - and I can honestly say, the script was better. Screenwriting self-helper, Alex Epstein, speaks of "transparency," the quality of a script that causes you to forget you're ...

Pros: Good acting. An original, one-of-a-kind, compelling and provocative story.
Cons: none
Sex, Lies and Videotape is a provocative story about betrayal, deceipt, and the dysfunctional coping behavior of a man that enables him to avoid developing intimate relationships with women, but which is, ultimately, the catalyst for healing and a new ...

Pros: Soderbergh's Script/Direction, Look, Score, Subject, & Cast.
Cons: None.
When the 1970s ended the era of young auteurs who were more about art than making money, many wondered what was going to happen for films that told real stories and actually mattered to people. Sure, there's a lot of films that people remember about ...

Pros: Excellent
Cons: none
I have seen this movie approximately 542 times. I'm usually not one for multiple-viewings, but circumstance (it being the only video owned by my family) and a great love of the movie converged to cause me to watch it again and again and again. The first...

Pros: Thought-provoking; excellent example of first feature by master director
Cons: Not to be seen after a rough day
If you purchase "sex,lies,and videotape" expecting to see erotica, you'll be disappointed. Steven Soderbergh's 1989 award winning film (Palme D'Or, Cannes Film Festival) is a provocative, sometimes painful examination of how communication, or lack...

Pros: It's an excellent film.
Cons: Honestly, I can't think of any cons.
Okay, I'm highly biased. This is my favorite movie of all time. It's a moody movie, set in the South, where emotion and dialogue carry me (and probably you) to the end. It's so good that, for me, it has become "peanut butter fiction," as if it's ...

Pros: Great dialogue, excellent story, acting
Cons: should have been longer
Sex, Lies, and Videotape (SLV) is a movie that is very rare. By that, I mean that it deviates from the typical movie format where you get introduced to characters, some problem occurs, and you go through a resolution which is typical.
For...

Pros: Pretty much everything.
Cons: There was a questionable line or two...?
sex, lies and videotape is a special film because each of its components coalesce seamlessly to form an ingenious, stratified, harrowing view of human relationships and sexuality. The title encapsulates the film excellently: in many scenes, we're ...

by bonniesayers - Top 50, Mar 09 '01
Pros: An original concept
Cons: Needed more character development
While checking the listings of what was on television last evening I came across Sex, Lies and Videotape on the Sundance channel. This was written and directed by newcomer Steven Soderbergh in 1989 and surprisingly the first time I have...

Pros: excellent film, complex themes
Cons: if your looking for something sexy, this isn't it
I saw sex, lies, and videotape when I was about 14 years old. I watched it for the title, hoping for something scandalous and exciting. I wasn't scandalized, but I was excited for the first time about movies. I saw what movies could be, how intense.

Pros: ...
Cons: ...
Written and directed by first timer Steven Soderbergh, this relatively low budget flick actually received quite a bit of acclaim. Nominated for Best Director at the Academy Awards, it lost to Stones' Born on the 4th of July, but won Best Picture...

Pros: Great Script, Andie McDowell is terrific, very good directing
Cons: Nothing worth mentioning.
"Sex, Lies, & Videotape" is a wonderful testament to modern love, and psychology. Steven Soderberg's directorial debut is emotionally gripping and true. Using 4 central characters, Soderberg who also wrote the film, is able to weave a...

Pros: Andie Macdowell's acting, character development, gripping, unique direction
Cons: '80s...it looks fairly dated
Not only does it's sinful title capture your attention, but the overlaying of characters and the powerful dialogues that make up this film help to create its own world inside that of the four lead characters.
After seeing director Steven...

Pros: Original
Cons: Ending is a let down
Steve Soderburgh's Sex, Lies, and Videotape is a fairly impressive movie.
'Sex' tells the story of a lawyer, John who is cheating on his wife with her sister. When his high school buddy, Graham asks for help he allows him to stay in his...
