The Good Liar

READ BETWEEN THE LIES.Ā 

Betty McLeish (Helen Mirren) begins to date a man (Ian McKellen), who eventually moves in with herā€¦ but he is in fact a ruthless con man. The great advantage of this film is the joy of watching two old pros play characters whom we soon realize both harbor secrets. The downside is weā€™re never genuinely surprised at anything no matter what twists are revealed, because we can always sort of sense where things are going. The film also has a brutal streak that doesnā€™t serve it well at all times. Still, engagingly crafted.

2019-U.S.-Britain. 109 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed byĀ Bill Condon. Novel: Nicholas Searle. Cast: Helen Mirren (Betty McLeish), Ian McKellen (Roy Courtnay), Russell Tovey (Stephen), Jim Carter, Mark Lewis Jones.
