The Lie

POSITIVES…

  • By about the 12 minutes mark, I was all “well THIS is a compelling premise for a suspense drama.”

  • This is one of those stories where you might just be super curious to see how it’s going to conclude, and that is what’s most engaging about it.

  • The other compelling thing about this story is observing what the characters do in the situations that they are put in. You may not agree with everything they do, but it’s captivating that’s for sure.

  • If you enjoy getting that uneasy feeling of watching a house of cards about to topple over, or a train wreck that’s about to happen, then this movie might just be for you.

  • Fantastic performances by Mirielle Enos, and Peter Sarsgaard.

  • If you’re going to learn just one thing from this movie, it’s that you shouldn’t lie.

NEGATIVES…

  • There’s a certain point in the movie where it starts to go off the rails.

  • Considering the premise, it was easy to judge the characters for making the absolute worst decisions.

  • Needless to say, this might just be a very frustrating movie to watch.

  • Prepare to exclaim “you’ve got to be effing kidding me?!” multiple times.

  • I won’t blame you if you think this movie is just too unbelievable.

  • There will be those who will find the character of Kayla to be pretty annoying. I’m one of them.
