The Good Lie (2014)
The Good Lie
By now you might have heard that Reese Witherspoon doesn't appear on screen until after a harrowing first act in which the young central characters flee from their village and become a de facto family unit before arriving at a U.N. camp. Most of the credit the film has received has gone to director Philippe Falardeau (Monsieur Lazhar) for crafting an intelligent picture that does not shy away from any number of horrific realities, the aforementioned child actors who set the scene for the rest of the narrative, and the movie studio for putting out such a serious-minded work (even if its marketing is rather misleading). Reese will get plenty of attention for Wild in December and it's cool that she's not positioned front and centered anywhere but on the movie's poster.
