Weird, I just watched it and came to mubi to find comments about the ending, but I'll follow your advice
I thought this film was really interesting by it's portrait on couple's insight of sex and how humans react to it in the different levels. Every character was well thought of and brilliantly portrait on this most excellent screenplay about human interactions. I did feel the movie was slow and pasty, not because it was bad but how the scenes were created and how it was given to us, so I have mixed feelings about this.
For anyone in London, sex, lies, and videotape will be showing alongside Paul Schrader's Auto Focus, as part of a Voyeurism Double Bill on Sun 8th January, at the Shacklewell Arms in Dalston (only £5 on the door).

No hay nada de lo que me pueda quejar en esta película, incluso encontré ciertos elementos de identificación con mi vida que obviamente parcializan mi opinión al respecto de la misma. En todo caso, el desarrollo de la trama y los giros dramáticos son tan sutiles que más que una "película" en todo el sentido de la palabra, parece más como un retrato. El uso de tomas largas y fijas a veces le da un feeling de retrato.
Gotta be one of my favourite Soderbergh's. One of my favourites for sure. Just superb.
One of the most stunning debut feature I've ever seen. A film of total vision. Not an angle or frame wasted.
even if it's the first,it's soderbergh's most brilliant work.i'm sure i'll think the same way many years later.
perfect film. to anyone who plans on watching it: please don't over analyze the ending.

I swear I have LIVED in the rooms of these characters; Giacomo's naked studio apartment, Spader's tiny kitchen, MacDowell's and Gallagher's wall-to-wall carpet bedroom. Of course I haven't, but the spaces appear so very clear to me years after watching the film. Bizarre, never experienced anything quite like it. The pacing is FANTASTIC, the music sort of numbing and it's just so terribly and softly erotic.
jaaames spaaaaader. this is a great movie with great performances. this along with 'the girlfriend experience' are my favorites of his.
