Movie Reviews of L.I.E.
Movie Review: let's hear it for this little gem!
Summary: 4 Stars
There's nothing in this film that I'd use to identify it as "the best film ever" or "one of" the best films ever or whatever, but this is definitely a great film! The look of the film, the settings, atmosphere, etc., combined with the deep themes of the film provide a keilidoscope of images & sounds that stick with the viewer(s) long after the credits stop rolling. This film is rather unique b/c it oozes with a sense of melancholly that makes it easy to watch several times over the span of a few years, not unlike 1997's 'nowhere' by Gregg Araki.
Summary of L.I.E.
Studio: New Yorker Films Video Release Date: 06/04/2002 Run time: 97 minutes Rating: UrA remarkable movie. L.I.E. centers on Howie, a 15-year-old boy whose mother recently died in a car accident. Neglected by his father, an unscrupulous contractor who's constantly having sex with his new girlfriend, Howie falls in with a group of boys who break into houses for kicks. After one break-in Howie is caught by Big John (Brian Cox, the original Hannibal Lecter from Manhunter), a former Marine with a taste for young boys. But the relationship that develops between Howie and Big John surprises them both. L.I.E. captures male adolescence more genuinely than any other film in recent memory; the realism of the relationships, particularly between Howie and his father, is completely compelling. The movie affects all the senses; you can practically feel the texture of Howie's blue flannel sheets, smell the greenery that grows along the Long Island Expressway. Amazing performances, vivid direction, smartly written--superb all around. --Bret Fetzer
