Superior and original filmmaking. You won't be able to take your eyes off it.Full Review

Jay Carr
Boston Globe

At its best, L.I.E. offers a rich, dark, bitter slice of contemporary life. But the film's arty embellishments undermine its bleak vision, making it, in the end, a little too easy to take.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

L.I.E. has embraced tragedy, folly, perversity and outrageous dark humor. Like "Happiness" and "American Beauty," it takes an unflinching look at the darker aspects of life in American suburbia.Full Review
