www.lieswetell.com I Facebook I Production I Contact for Festivals I Sales I Synopsis I Trailer I Poster
Lies We Tell Review: A touching Thriller Story
The film brings into discussion several social topics prominent in present times, such as a male dominating society, issues that involve an Islamic divorce and being forced into marriage to please families.
Lies we Tell Review : Gabriel Byrne delivers
First time director Mitu Misra’s Lies We Tell debut feature is an offering of great acting, a strong story and stellar performances by Gabriel Byrne and the entire cast. Byrne delivers a sensitive and powerful performance with an intensity and gritty authenticity. He plays Donald and has a palpable chemistry with Amber (acted by newcomer Sybilla Deen).
