Critic Reviews of "The Good Lie"
ReelViewsOctober 26, 2014There's a sense that The Good Lie wants to say something profound but the message is as muddled as its delineation of history is.
Chicago ReaderOctober 23, 2014The main characters are played by actual refugees-two of whom were child soldiers-and their uninflected, authoritative performances compensate for the feel-good simplifications of Margaret Nagle's script.
Minneapolis Star TribuneOctober 16, 2014A well-told tale that illuminates the experiences of the 20,000 "lost boys" (and girls) of Sudan, with such grace, insight and humor, it can be forgiven a few simplifying liberties taken in the name of moving the narrative along.
TIME MagazineOctober 16, 2014If a moviegoer can't cry for the great tragedy of these Sudanese children, and be touched by their small victories, then who on earth deserves our tears and cheers?
San Diego ReaderOctober 15, 2014If a measure of tasteful restraint is detectable, it serves at least to allow for the depiction of human emotion instead of the market-driven blandification of history.
Rolling StoneOctober 03, 2014It's often earnest to a fault and fearful of its deeper, darker implications. Still, you won't leave The Good Lie unmoved. Its heart really is in the right place,
The Film StageMarch 12, 2016A credible, engaging and beautiful moral drama that is unusually smart for a Hollywood studio picture.
Today's Zaman (Turkey)March 01, 2016This is humble and subtle filmmaking and is a must watch.
Observer (UK)April 26, 2015Strong performances from Arnold Oceng, Ger Duany and Emmanuel Jal ensure that the characters of Mamere, Jeremiah and Paul are never reduced to "exotic" victimhood.
Irish TimesApril 25, 2015A Unesco educational resource cast in the style of an unreconstructed 1970s sitcom.
Daily Express (UK)April 24, 2015The bond between Carrie and these "lost boys" makes for a sincere, simplistic and poignant tale.
