Where the Truth Lies' is a sophisticated and intelligently provocative film, ... The NC-17 rating will unfairly limit people's access to it because of the number of theaters in America which will not play an NC-17 rated film.

The film has not encountered this kind of restrictive rating anywhere else in the free world. Only in America will many be deprived of access to it.

absurd allow becomes best bit cannot central conducive cut environment exactly full garner happens intensity intimacy mystery narrative order pivotal remains reveals scene shot single sustained thus using
This scene is done using a single sustained mastershot in order to allow the actors the most conducive environment for intimacy and intensity and in order to best communicate what happens in the film's pivotal scene. It cannot be cut without compromising the central scene of the narrative and thus rendering the mystery of the film incomprehensible. It remains more than a bit absurd to me that this scene would garner an R if shot exactly the same but from just the torso up but becomes an NC-17 because the mastershot reveals full bodies.
