'' Lies We Tell '' is a period piece with a dark, gothic story.
The movie has an impressive cinematogaphy, with sharp and harsh light and minimal aesthetics, leaving everything to the characters to enhance the drama.
The story, in addition, was pretty intense and the family drama, though not unique, thrilling and dark. The twists were also nicely handled.
However, the ending was a bit rushed and if they wanted to present the main character as the monster which she had to become due to the family and that house, well, they probably needed more scenes to prove so.
But, the performances were really strong by everyone and, especially, the main lead.
