2/07: James Spader is at his most cool as Graham Dalton in Sex, Lies, and Videotape.

Laura San Giacomo, Andie MacDowell, and Peter Gallagher turn in great performances with James Spader as the maestro.

All in all, Sex, Lies, and Videotape is a stunning directorial debut for Steven Soderberg.

10/10: A sensual motion picture, Sex, Lies, and Videotape explores people's sexuality and their fears, misgivings, and apprehensions about sex.

James Spader, Laura San Giacomo, Andie MacDowell, and Peter Gallagher give the performances of their careers. The dialogue is first-rate, and it's hard to overcome how good and sensual the movie is.

All in all, Sex, Lies, and Videotape is my favorite James Spader film.
