The Lie Ratings & Reviews
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
Too stupid to be the hard-hitting drama it was first sold as and too self-important to be the black comedy it really should be, Sud's film is a master class in bad decision-making, improbable choices, and overwrought acting.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
Still, after roughly 90 minutes of unbelievable behavior and botched suspense, the twist ending is too audaciously ridiculous to entirely resist. You'll scream, but not in fear.
The MacGuffin
Allen Almachar
There was plenty of potential here, but whatever promise there was is bogged down by a narrative that just doesn't work.
But Why Tho? A Geek Community
Kate Sánchez
The Lie is a sobering film with an ending that hollows you out.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Above-average acting from the lead actors in the cast can't quite save this convoluted mess of a movie ... Because the movie has too many characters who do too many incredibly stupid things, The Lie lacks credibility as a suspense thriller.
It's Just Movies
Ron Wilkinson
Parents play games with the family and family plays games with them.
The Playlist
Brian Tallerico
The actual lie is that anyone will find this entertaining.
Discussing Film
Ben Rolph
Believability dwindles and dwindles, by the end one's eyes might just have rolled all the way back.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeffrey M. Anderson
"The Lie" is a sturdy thriller... the cracks emerge a little at a time, along with the suspense. And the ending will likely have some jaws hitting the floor.
Substream Magazine
Murjani Rawls
The Lie is better at exploring the pieces of a broken family than the murder mystery it tries to build.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Angie Han
There's a germ of an interesting idea in here about privilege that is only glancingly touched upon... But it gets buried under preposterous twists.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Amy Nicholson
The film is a little bit too controlled... But there were good moments where I was yelling at the screen "What are you doing?"
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
It's a twisty if not always plausible tale closer to something like We Need to Talk About Kevin than genre terrain. At least it's interesting, which is more than you can say about the uninspired-to-tedious other previewed films...
Vanyaland
Nick Johnston
It's endowed with a compelling premise and a decent cast, all of whom it fails in its weirdly toothless execution.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
It's well constructed and well-acted, but it falls apart when it comes to narrative. Very few will be unable to see the ending coming a mile away.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
Very little about this movie works, in spite of a certain ambition in telling a story based solely on unfathomable decisions.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
[A] humorless, woebegone, overwrought exercise in bourgeois cinematic misery-mongering.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
At the heart of Veena Sud's film is the raw material for a potentially ingenious satirical domestic thriller.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
"The Lie" is far from a total success, but it has enough tension and talent to make you hope that Blumhouse keeps aiming a quiet thriller or two at adults.
The Hollywood Reporter
Leslie Felperin
Honestly quite good, but telling cruel truths.
