Review: The Lie


Hello, Everybody! This is my review of the Amazon Original movie, The Lie. It's the first movie of Prime Video's Welcome to the Blumhouse, an anthology project from Blumhouse Productions, who has given us Get Out,  Paranormal Activity, Insidious and The Invisible Man. It's compromised of 4 stories to showcase talented filmmakers with big screen ideas. 

This 2018 suspense film which came out last night is... shall I say.. not good!

The movie, starring Joey King as a 15-year-old girl who accidentally kills her friend and then her parents try to cover it up rather than being held accountable for their daughter's actions! It's basically an hour and a half of the girl's parents making really dumb decisions and it's pacing is soo slow by trying too hard to be suspenseful. 

While Peter Sarsgaard, Mireille Enos and King tried their best with the material that they were given.  

Veena Sud's film is a case of morality clause that never grabs you. The movie just focuses on the parents coming up with every alibi for their daughter only for it to blow up in their face and the story becomes completely lost in its own self-seriousness. I get what she was going for and it just didn't work. 

This entire movie was ridiculous, even the ending was ridiculous! I'm just going to spoil it so that you won't have to waste an hour and a half of your life like I did. 

So... basically, Kayla pretended to murder Britney just so that she can be with her boyfriend and both of her parents ended up killing Britney's dad just to protect Kayla! MY GOD THIS MOVIE WAS STUPID. 

I don't recommend. I'm giving this a one star. 

Please share your thoughts below.❤️

It's a surprisingly emotional story about the relationship of a father and her daughter and the depths that they both go to achieve their goals. While its signature humor is in there, what makes it superior are the performances of Baron Cohen and new
