Lie to Me: In Character with Tim Roth (2009 Video) User Reviews

One of the best TV shows ever

[marwen-heni · 10/10 · 11 September 2014]

Lie to me is exactly the kind of show you'd like to watch. The cast is great, especially Tim Roth with his unusual and perfect acting in portraying Dr Lightman, and Kelli Williams who fits greatly in the role of Dr Foster. The concept of the show is great, and presenting the science of deception and the studies of Dr Paul Ekman were pretty much well done. I read Dr Ekman books but I can't deny that the show was a practical application of my readings. I'm also a fan of Tim Roth and choosing him for this role was absolutely perfect. Throughout the 3 seasons, his character developed a lot and I'm pretty sure he worked hard to make the Lightman character even more attractive.

Wonderful

Just a point. Tim Roth is saying "OI" not "Hey" when you watch in closed captions. He is clearly English after all. Let me know. Cheers! The show is great! Character development is great! and the episodic progress has been easy to follow. I have been aware of Roth for years and typically find it difficult to accept an actor into roles I am not accustomed to seeing them in. Much more so if it seems as though the actor has stepped into completely new territory. Mr. Roth is wonderfully English and has always come across as such on the screen. This is a mature role for Mr. Roth and much like his countryman Daniel Craig ushers in a new acceptance when the brash young mate becomes mature man

So informative

Learning from this show is almost like reading someone's mind. Body language is so amazing when it is talk to you in this fashion.

Watched this show a couple times

The show is still great when I come back to it. Tim Roth became a favorite of mine after this show. Great stuff over and over again.

A two-sided sword

First of all, it needs to be said that this is "Lie to Me: In Character with Tim Roth", a brief documentary about the show "Lie to Me" and not the show itself as the two other reviewers falsely suspected. It runs for slightly over 3 minutes and has Oscar-nominated lead actor Tim Roth elaborate a bit on his character and also about his approach when it comes to playing a man who is apparently a genius in knowing whether people are telling him the truth or lying in his face. Roth does a pretty good job with his comments here, but sadly the scenes shown felt really very much for the sake of it and not relevant or insightful, which is why overall these 200 seconds did not make an impression on me or did get me curious in a way where I would want to check out "Lie to Me" in the near future. I give it a thumbs-down. Having Roth talk for the entire thing would have been the better idea. Watch something else instead.
