      Audience Member Very sad. Good acting by the entire cast. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a good but sad story of unconditional love, with a mother who can't help herself, who can't follow the rules, who loves living but can't do it without her freedom and own will and a daughter who loves her mother, even after all they went through Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review dave j Monday, May 7, 2012 (2005) Lies My Mother Told Me DRAMA/ THRILLER Another inspired by true events, made for tv movie and part of a two movie rental DVD starring Hayden Panettiere as Haylei Sims narrating her experiences while going on the lam with her mother who was 'Americas Most Wanted' who lies cheats and and steals from unsuspecting people, and eventually murder. Tired genre without showing who the movie is referring or based on! 2 out of 4 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member the story itself isn't all its cracked up to be. But the fact that its based on actual events gives it power. Joely Richardson carries the movie as a fugitive mother, who along with her young daughter, leaves a trail of warrants across the country. When she settles with a wealthy attorney, her past demons come back with a vengeance. Though its very much a "Lifetime" movie, it has a nice sense of freshness to the genre. There are a few plot twists that seem to never get explained in full, but its a Lifetime Original, so you get that you pay for.. If you're in on a Friday night, or you're a fan of Joely, i recommend it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice made for tv movie. Hayden did great! I liked the black horse and the little girl who played the little daughter was so cute. The ending was sad. 6/10. Worth a look. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved the movie. Hayden's acting was amazing. The movie was interesting and kept me wondering what was going to happen to the daughter.
