Lies & Whispers (1998)

Waste of time

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I turned on the TV and it just happened to be this film. I had never heard of Gina Gershon before. I agree with Zoltan. I liked the film, but really it got so annoying that she hardly ever completely closed her mouth. Very irritating! Otherwise it was enjoyable and it was interesting to learn that Gina is Jewish (if you see the movie, you will understand why I mention this). Prague is indeed a very beautiful and interesting city and a good place for romance. I myself have a Tsjechian (spelling?)grandmother and great-grandparents, although I never met them. When you see the movie, perhaps you will be able to understand why. Greetings from Dorith

I liked this movie and I think that the plot is good. It's a story about love.Love between two very different people. On one side there is young doctor Lauren Graham (Gina Gershon) and on the other older book writer Jiri Kolmar (Rade Serbedzija). But what is really important is that love knows no limits. Age, nationality, past, nothing is important when two people are in love.It's a great chance for Americans to meet Rade Serbedzija, one of the best Croatian actors. He is very good in this role, very calm and his emotions comes from his eyes. An excellent role. Gina Gershon is also good in her role. Why I liked this movie beside this things that I mentioned? It's because of Prague. I've been there three times but when I see it on film all my memories comes back again. Prague is magnificent city and it is perfect for filming a movie. All those old houses, streets, bridges, so beautiful and it's a perfect set for love story of this movie.I recommend this movie. Because of Prague, good plot and good actors. See it and enjoy it.

Two thumbs up in our household: we enjoyed the story a lot, probably in part because we both know Prague and are familiar with Eastern Europe. This film raises excellent questions and haunts you in a way. I discovered Gina Gershon and was impressed by her charisma. Just wish she could close her mouth sometimes (it remains open in 98% of the film in a distracting manner, as if she was constantly pouting!) but I definitely want to check out her other films.

If you have ever been, or want to go to Prague, this film has to be rented. The film was better than I expected - the love story is a little contrived at times, and unbelievable, but overall, the film works well and both lead actors put in good performances... The story brings together several themes that run very deep in the blood of the Czech people...
