Review of Where the Truth Lies (1962) by Tiago L — 25 Nov 2009

The films of Atom Egoyan are something of an acquired taste - and this film is no exception. It's sort of like a dodgy Hitchcock movie, but with lots of bare flesh- but for it's sins, it is entertaining.

It's great to see the usually annoying Firth playing against type and for once actually acting. Bacon is amusing as always, and Lohman although giving a somewhat dodgy performance, manages to smoulder quite effortlessly.

For true bonkers Egoyan, watch 'Exotica'. Otherwise, give this one a go.
