Lie Exposed

This film takes a story I've seen before and turns it on it's head. I love how Lie Exposed takes themes often considered taboo and brings them into the open for all of the characters to grapple with. The film itself looks beautiful and at times feels like a love letter to the city of Toronto. Highly recommend!

I find myself returning to this film in my head many months after the initial viewing. With consistently subtle and nuanced performances from the entire cast, this exploration of one woman's unusual set of reactions to her own diagnosis and what they provoke in those closest to her is delivered beautifully. Completely unpredictable, with a lovely, unhurried pace.

... while Hope and Greenwood are both pretty good, overall the film is fairly boring... with a good number of individual sub-stories that just don't add much at all... the few scenes when the two of them are onscreen together are the most compelling-entertaining.. the overall production would had benefited greatly had there been more of them.

Is it just me or do all the other reviews sound like they were written By the same source? LoL That feels sad to me. On to my review. This is a case of a Screenwriters words sounding better in his head than they do being said by real people - real people don't talk like this. Though its ambition is to seem raw, deep and thought provoking it comes across as shallow, laughable at times and so awkward I had to turn away from second hand embarrassment. I would skip this movie.

Echoing what cleovaillancourt said below - I thought this was beautifully done. Loved the elements of Toronto, and found Leslie Hope and Bruce Greenwood to be a wonderful pair. This film was raw, artistic, emotional, a bit edgy, and all around one I would recommend watching.

Also, the photos shown throughout the film are such an interesting style!
