Movie Reviews of L.I.E. (Unrated)
Movie Review: Stunningly Beautiful, A masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
L.I.E. is a movie that will leave you breatheless, and speechless. The end has a twist that you would of never imagined, yet you want to see more.Howie is a very smart young boy who is in the process of finding who and what he is. He gets involved with some kids that are nothing but neglected, problematic teenagers and as a result, he ends up getting in trouble.
Big John is an Ex-Marine spy who likes young boys and becomes almost instantly attracted to Howie whom had broken in his house with one of his "friends."
Howie is neglected by his father, who has a girlfriend who is good for nothing but sex. His mother died in a car accident so he is left at the merci of the world. Howie's dad gets arrested by the FBI towards the end of the movie, and big John takes care of him. To my surprise, he does not take advantage of Howie who was vulnerable at that point.
This movie is a must buy! It will teach you a lot about how we should appreciate life, and take care of those whom we love and cherish.
Movie Review: Extraordinary!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an awesomely well-made movie, from the acting to the writing to the cinematography - it has a reality & honesty that are very rare in American films - and it's also funny and compassionate. Brian Cox's performance has to be one of the acting pinnacles of film history. I hate to praise one actor by knocking others, but I automatically thought of two better-known actors who might have been cast as Big John but thankfully weren't: Albert Finney & Anthony Hopkins. Both would have fit well but both would have overshadowed the character. Big John as he is written & played in this film is one of the most complex & honest human beings I've ever seen in an American movie. Paul Franklin Dano is every bit as impressive as Howie showing extraordinary sensitivity & range. Both Dano & Cox should have won every major acting award of the year (if there was any justice in that industry). Michael Cuesta has made a truly extraordinary film, one that I'm sure will become a classic over time.Movie Review: Pual Dano opens a new door in movie enterament

My friend orginally saw this movie at a Film Festival in MassI hear it was a movie everyone from a Teen to a Adult should see........
This movie is more of a dark and mysterious movie witch makes it probly the best,,, This movie shwos of what problly happends to many teens today and even in large population and high crime areas like Long Island..
I personaly think is the theatical Realse was promoted upword to major theaters I beleve that IT JUST MIGHT have been nommitaed for a Academy Award.
L.I.E is probly a must-own movie very enteraning to watch but alough I do see why the NC-17 was put there.. Brian Cox puts on a great preformance.......
Alough it would be tough for writers but Iam sure me and a lot of people would like to see a L.I.E II
but alough This 1 pretty much rapes everything up!
I hope to see more movies like this in the near fueature I think they will be great hits.
Movie Review: One of the best independents in a long time!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
L.I.E. is the story of young Howie, who's mother recently died in a traffic accident on the Long Island Expressway (Hense the title). Howie is 15 yeas old and dealing with the death of his mother while living with his not so in touch currupt father. While Howies father does love him he is too involved in his scams and new wife that Howie's actions go unseen. Howie begins to question his sexuality throughout the whole film as he falls for his best friend that only intends for Howie to take the blame for the things he does. This is a classic tale of decite and a tribulation of the soul that a young and impressionable mind goes through in youth trying to find yourself. It has become my favorite movie. Even when it begins to seem a little slow the plot turns and send you to a climatic point in this thrilling drama. L.I.E. is truely a master piece and the best independent film I have seen in a long time!Movie Review: A stunning masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
A beautiful, painfully honest and controversial film that depicts a pedophile as a sometimes caring and loving father figure. The scene where Brian Cox shows the young boy how to shave is so filled with both paternal love and twisted sexuality that I can not get it out of my mind. How many kids even have a father figure in their homes today? How many young boys resort to drugs, violence, risky sexual habits from lack of paternal/parental love, care and supervison?
Can a "kind" pedophile fill the void of an absent father?
All of you who would rather go out drinking or spend the whole weekend in front of the TV watching some mindless show, I sincerely hope you will make time to watch this movie. It touched me the same way Alice Miller's books about lost childhoods have. Easily one of the top ten movies I have ever seen.
