Movie Reviews of L.I.E. (Unrated)
Movie Review: A cinematic statement reaffirming faith in message films
Summary: 5 Stars
L.I.E. is one of those films that should be included in a festival of movies for exploring minds. A story of today's isolated, terrified, lonely kids who will grasp at any straws that promise support of them in any way, L.I.E. manages to focus a microscope on one element of this fringe population. The only adult figure who is even vaguely in tune with the plight of lost children is a pedophile - and as that character, Brian Cox brings a new understanding of both his own "character type" and those of his "victims". Why the quotation marks? See this superbly made and incredibly well acted movie and see if you don't have new insights into the variations of "normal" behavior we so quickly condemn. Enlightening and important.Movie Review: A lesson to everybody
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie deals about the strongest taboo so far and it does its job well showing the human face of things. Very well-acted and never overly acted. It doesn't have nudity but has some "teaser" scenes that leave you wanting to see more.
It deals with many situations a boy has to deal in real life such as confusing feelings, misuderstanding from his father, problems with bullies at school, homoerotic romance and intergenerational consensual seduction.
On the other hand, it shows the human side of a paedophile in his search for ephimeral beauty that lasts short time. L.I.E. gives a strong lesson to everybody, specially for boylovers as if asking them: "Will you love your boy even after he has grown?"
Movie Review: This movie changed my life.
Summary: 5 Stars
There are so little movies that live up to that name which means to move you into a different stage of thought. With this movie, it connected with my soul, moved me and made me want to live a better life. I'm not gay and I'm not a pedophile (two main aspects of the movie) but if you look through what is on the surface, this movie is about a struggle of a lackluster parent figure, changing between people, who your real friends are, and also toys with the question: Is being gay a choice or something we just gain through experience. Paul Dano is one of my favorite actors from this movie where he was just a kid. Last night, he was at the Academy Awards. It's safe to say I'm not the only one moved by this movie, watch it.Movie Review: L.I.E. Review
Summary: 5 Stars
L.I.E. is an excellent movie. I think that it really gives it's viewers a reality check. It shows that no one's life is perfect. I would highly recommend this film. Paul Dano gives an amazing performance as Howie Blitzer, a young teen who is befreided by Big John (Brian Cox) after breaking into his house with his friends. This movie has caused conterversy on what is should be rated. It was given a NC-17 by the MPAA, but then was given a R rating at movie stores, because 87 seconds of the film were cut out by Lot 47 in order for it to achieve this rating.Over all L.I.E. is such a wonderful film. It would be worth going out and renting the editing version from video stores, or getting the un-cut version form Amazon.
