"The child gets two confusing messages when a parent tells him which is the right fork to use, and then proceeds to use the wrong one. So does the child who listens to parents bicker and fuss, yet is told to be nice to his brothers and sisters." +4BrainyQuote+4+4

"I was never apposed or sought out nudity, but it was necessary in Where the Truth Lies. If they didn't have the nudity, but they still had the scenes—because sex is used as a power tool in this movie—I feel it would have felt self-conscious and I think the scene is meant for you to feel uncomfortable." +2MUBI+2+2
