Carrie Davies, en stressad arbetsförmedlare, utses till att hjälpa de tre nyanlända bröderna Mamere, Paul och Jeremiah från Sudan att komma in i det amerikanska samhället så snabbt och smidigt som möjligt. Men ju mer hon lär känna dessa vilsna, men ändå hoppfulla, unga män som aldrig använt en telefon eller bott i en lägenhet med elektricitet och rinnande vatten - desto djupare engagerad blir hon i deras livsöden.

The Good Lie Ratings & Reviews

  • Alexandra Jeffery−7 d
    Great movie
  • remii20 oktober 2025
    This has to be one of the most touching movies about immigrating in the 21st century and a parabola of salvation by substitution.
  • Dave3 september 2025
    All around good movie. It has some funny moments that lean into cultural differences while maintaining the tug at the heart strings soul of the movie. The characters are likable and have enough depth that their losses are felt along the way.
