Movie Reviews of L.I.E. (Unrated)
Movie Review: L.I.E.
Summary: 5 Stars
L.I.E. in my opinion is one of the best films in it's class in the past decade. The actors are particularly good in each role and each one delivers a natural feel to each particular character. Paul Dano is brilliant in his role as Howie, he portrays an innocent need for acceptance and belonging that makes the film so actual and believable. Brian Cox as Big John had to take on a role that is not only difficult to portray but also had the potential of destroying his career. He pulled it of in an exceptional way. It is a film that is hard to watch if you care about the youth of our world. The film is particularly relevant to today's circumstances and problems the youth face. It deserve a place in each one's collection.Movie Review: L.I.E
Summary: 5 Stars
Up to now, I have never submitted a review. But this movie was so great that I felt compelled.The story by itself was incredibly written. I was enlightened to find that it was far more in depth...and surprising...than I had expected. Not wanting to give away important details, I can say that I was impressed with the fact that "Big John" did not take sexual advantage of Howie as I expected, but actually showed true feelings for this boy. It showed how pedophiles usually take advantage of boys for their own gratification, but that if the pedophile truely cares about the boy...sex is not involved.
Anyway...I felt it was a remarkable movie with excellent acting!! Especially from Dano.
Movie Review: SUPERBE
Summary: 5 Stars
L.I.E. (Long Island Expressway) is not the type of movie that everyone will want to watch. It is however, a movie that is sure to please those who are interested in seeing it. L.I.E. tells the story of a young teenager named Howie who befriends a pedophile, played deliciously by Brian Cox. His character becomes a mentor and father-figure to Howie, whose home-life is deteriorating rapidly. This movie contains subject matters too taboo and controversial for some narrow-minded people(hence no Academy Award nominations). Nevertheless, L.I.E. is a remarkable movie that certainly deserves prestigous recognition. If you can appreciate independent gems, you are sure to love L.I.E.Movie Review: very moving
Summary: 5 Stars
I just saw this film, after hearing a great deal about it. I must say that all the controversy that has surrounded this movie is completely unwarrented. This was a beautiful, heart-breakingly done coming-of-age story. The pedophilia angle is merely one aspect of a very multi-faceted film. The acting was uniformly excellent, and the direction and cinematography were superb. Along with Mulholland Drive and Donnie Darko, one of the finest films of 2001. I suppose it is necessary to say that this film might be disturbing to some viewers, but art is not made to escape to. Nor is life, for that matter.Movie Review: Very Good
Summary: 5 Stars
At first, I was hesitant to rent this film, based on the knowledge I had of there being a pedophile in it. However, I rented it and I thought the movie was great. The actors were phenominal, and the writing was just perfect. I'd be suprised if Paul Franklin Dano doesn't get offered more roles after this one. I reccomend this film to anyone who can appreciate a great movie. Oh, and to those parents who are wondering why the film was rated NC-17, it is not that inappropriate. There is no sex, violence, or over the top swearing. I think it only got that rating because of the whole pedophile theme.
