ROTTEN TOMATOES: Egoyan's "Truth" May Lie with an NC-17

Egoyan's "Truth" May Lie with an NC-17

by Scott Weinberg | August 22, 2005

ThinkFilm, distributor of the new Atom Egoyan film "Where the Truth Lies," plans to appeal what they believe will be an NC-17 rating from the MPAA, says The Hollywood Reporter.

"The only problem is that, according to the MPAA, the group hasn't officially published the movie's rating yet, and no appeal date has been set. Based on a murder mystery by Rupert Holmes, "Truth" concerns an investigation into an unsolved murder that marred the career of a '50s stand-up comedy team (Kevin Bacon and Colin Firth). The film includes a menage a trois sex scene involving Bacon, Firth and actress Rachel Blanchard that many observers expect will result in an NC-17, which would make the movie off limits for viewers younger than 18."

"Where the Truth Lies" will make its North American debut at next month's Toronto Film Festival.

Atom Egoyan's earlier films include "Exotica," "Ararat," and "The Sweet Hereafter."

I wonder if this is more explicit than the grouping of Neve Campbell, Denise Richards and Matt Dillon--now that was spicy.
Maybe 2 girls and a guy is okay but 2 guys and a girl? hmmmm, as long as everyone is happy I could care less

Ther was a movie back a few years ago with Laura Flynn Boyle, Stephen Baldwin, and some other dude.. and there was a 2 guy 1 girl scene in there.. in fact one of the guys was gay who had feelings for Staphen Baldwin charater.. and that only got a R rating.. so whats the difference in this?

Oooh a threesome scene with two guys? Is it sad that that's the only reason that I want to see this?

Who is Firthy anyways. We've seen Bacon naked enough, we need guys like Mark Whalberg, Vin Diesel, or Colin Farrell.
