Lying

I am giving this movie a 2 because it had good set design and the make up artists did a pretty good job.

This movie was awful, my girlfriend wanted to rent it and I would not bother writing a bad review if it was just some chick flick but this is not the standard girls get together and discover themselves or learn to love each other. Nothing happens in this movie, the interaction is dry and frankly unbelievable, everyone acts like they are on some kind of hardcore anti-depressant.

Honestly the people who like this movie are the people who have never seen a good art film before. The scene with the babies was pretty funny but other than that this film cheated to get that 5.8 rating it has because no one in their right mind could rate this as a 10 unless they are trying to bump its rating up.

You will feel blue-balled after watching this movie

On the basis of the sycophantic self serving drivel of Kudos for M's review I have opted not to watch this movie. Seriously promo guys have a word with this idiot. Don't really have anything else to say as I've not watched the movie. I think the 4 out of 14 (soon to be 4 out of 15) comments on the review would support the fact that this guy is a monkey though. Just trying to get to the ten line requirement that will enable me to post this abuse. Kind of tired now, I'm not going to lie to you. Starting to regret it. Getting a bit of the old RSI on the wrist from all this typing. I think i've done it. Ho hum , stay frosty and uh kudos to M.

LYING is a fey and contemplative film which attempts to examine the various levels and applications of deception. Megan, played by Chloe Sevigny, is a young woman who is obsessed with control. She honestly feels that if she is allowed to dominate and dictate events, everyone will benefit from her machinations. Her behavior is certainly neurotic, but her intent is not malevolent. The story is set on a beautiful country estate in upstate New York, and on an Indian Summer weekend, Megan invites three friends to relax and work on a short film project. The entire weekend is predicated on several falsehoods which the girls must accept in order for the prevarication to become real. Megan's actual mission is to see if she can induce her guests to enter a hypothetical world of her construction. The film is paced very slowly, almost hypnotically, and information is divulged sparingly which tends to heighten the effect of never knowing exactly what to believe. This film is not for everyone, but gradually and by degrees, LYING does enable the viewer to contemplate the art of manipulation. If you liked the classic Australian art film, PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK, you will probably appreciate what M. Blash, the writer/director, has attempted in LYING.

This movie is BOORRRR-ingggg. A veritable snoozefest about four young women who get together for weekend in the one girl's parent's farm house. It sounds like a typical horror movie beginnings, but it isn't. Just a series of unrelated subplots with very little dialog. About the only thing the women do together is drink wine and search the house for the source of a noise (which is never really revealed.) They could have at least spiced it up a little with some nudity or lesbian sex scenes, but it didn't even offer that.

It isn't the worst movie I've ever seen, but it is certainly the most dull.

Even though the movie has an intriguing start it ends nowhere. Megan is setting up for the arrival of her friends, moving the furniture, hiding things, putting things away, etc. She brings boxes filled with dolls and the movie spends a ridiculous amount of time placing the dolls all over the front yard. Many small details are scattered around during this first part. The point is that when the girls come, all of this material just got wasted. The dialog is nonsensical, so are the actions and the plot. The only thing that made me watch me till the end is to see wheather or not the movie was going to bring the clues together. It did not. At the end, when the lights came on the whole audience in the room sighed in with relief and was happy to leave. My suggestion is: spare yourself 90 mins of your life, I almost see every movie that comes out and am able to pick the good points no matter how small they are out of every movie. In this one there's none.
