L.I.E. movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: The suspense -- and, indeed, the art -- comes from not knowing which road Howie will take. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: One of the most provocative independent films of the year. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: A mature, insightful and extremely well-acted study. Read more
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News: A bold, distinctly independent film. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: 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. Read more
Kevin Maynard, Mr. Showbiz: Cuesta's film never succumbs to Larry Clark-esque seediness. The film's take on Oliver Twist is utterly dispassionate and all the more creepy and compelling for offering us no clues as to what will happen between Big John and Howie. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: A wonderfully acted film and a courageous one. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: A boldly imaginative yet subtle exploration of male sexuality. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: It is the work of a young director with something to say. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: You know you're in the hands of a born filmmaker when he floods a scene with danger and excitement and, at the same time, tempers it with something more delicate. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: This is a very unsettling film that left me shaking long after I left the theater. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Its director, Michael Cuesta, has the stubborn curiosity of an artist who won't settle for formulas but is intrigued by the secrets and mysteries of his characters. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: A penetrating look at a 14-year-old boy's relationship with a pederast. Read more
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle: A provocative, upsetting film. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Cuesta never gives us the satisfaction of fulfilling our expectations; instead he gives us a movie that we can ponder long the road takes its final turn. Read more
Jessica Winter, Village Voice: Confused and disjointed. Read more
