The Lie Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Here's a film in which the actors create plausible people we would probably like. They're loose inside the skins of their characters.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
The Lie's payoff strikes an unexpected, refreshingly open note that makes this slight little indie more resonant than its scale suggests.
Film.com
Eric D. Snider
This mix of laughs and drama is a good one.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
It doesn't try too hard, but what "The Lie" is working at, in its unassuming, amusing way, is a mini-portrait of growing pains in a time of extended adolescence.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The acting in The Lie -- including a nice bit by Mark Webber as a stoner pal who lectures Leonard on responsibility -- is good enough to almost overlook a so-so ending.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Comprising small, near-perfect scenes played out largely at dinner tables and on couches, "The Lie" wonders if it's possible to rewrite lives and remake choices.
IFC.com
Matt Singer
Leonard does a nice job of ramping up the comedy without sacrificing the believability of the world he's established; the movie is very funny at times but it's never outlandish.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
A film about accountability that repeatedly absolves its lead character of the need to have any.
Oregonian
Shawn Levy
Leonard plays Lonnie with unflattering commitment: you've gotta credit a fellow who plays feckless, selfish and dim so fully.
Boxoffice Magazine
Ray Greene
The Lie is a sturdy directorial debut from actor Joshua Leonard.
Film Threat
Don R. Lewis
It's funny, touching and truthful and its total lack of cynicism is rare but very welcome.
Shockya.com
Brent Simon
A well acted and uncommonly assured and engaging portrait of post-millennial and particularly male uncertainty.
Movieline
Michelle Orange
Embedded in The Lie is a sharp look at the moral limbo of a complacent life, the self-defeat of committing by halves, the self-interest of false equivalencies - but only the shallowest attempts are made to chip its themes out.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
It would take considerable skill on both sides of the camera to make this material go, and Leonard, a low-rent Owen Wilson on screen, can't handle the simplest two-shot behind the lens...
Variety
Dennis Harvey
[A] thinly amusing tale with not-especially-appealing characters.
Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Adaptation of an esteemed New Yorker story lightens the tone successfully while capturing the ugliness of a panic-inspired misstep.
Movie City News
Kim Voynar
This is an assured directorial debut that goes beyond what we often see out of indie filmmakers.
Cinematical
Erik Davis
An under-the-radar gem that may hit you in ways you never expected long after the credits roll.
