Lies & Whispers (1998)

Best movie ever!

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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.

I saw this film two years ago. It made a deep impression. I have been trying to see it again, but for some reason it is hard to find on video in this town.This is a meaty, thought provoking movie wrapped around a nasty surprise. Gina Gershon (always a favorite of mine) gives us a great portrait of a respectable, complacent professional whose world disintegrates when she discovers that her identity is based on a lie.Anyone who has ever tried sleuthing into their family history, or even just contemplated the blank spaces in it, will find this movie fascinating, and maybe a little scary. (Action fans will be disappointed....)

I rented the movie because I love Gina Gershon. Aside from being a very fine underrated actress she is also an incredibly beautiful woman! The movie did start out slow but the scenery was incredible! By the time the story took hold I was captivated by both leads and in the end the story left me satisfied. It works on every level. It is both informative and romantic. The ending is very sweet too. It is worth spending 2 hours watching it.

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...
