      Audience Member If you have heard of the Michael Aptedâ??s "Up" series, "Love, Lust and Lies" is a kind of 90 minute, Australian, all-female, working class version of it. It spans the lives of three women from the age of 14 in 1976 to the age of 47 in 2009. It is actually the fifth film in the series (the equivalent of "49 Up"), but the first third is devoted to a summary of the first four episodes, and a few flashbacks later on help you catch on with what youâ??ve missed. None of the women in the film have led exemplary lives. Teenage pregnancies, multiple divorces, addictions, adultery and the rest are more or less the norm, not to mention the fact that director Gillian Armstrong is quite aware that the three women have not always been very honest with her, hence the title. But it is nice to see life shown at what seems to be its real pace when you are my age : an hour and a half and itâ??s about half over. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Riveting but repetetive. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Kind of like an Australian 7 up, this series of movies follows the lives of three Australian girls from age 14 to this current one, which finds them age 47. As always, interesting to catch up with them and see how their lives have changed. The biggest shock was Kerry, who started off as a wild teen, settled down young as a housewife, got her life together in her 30's, and now seems to have gone full circle back to wild again. I can't imagine these would be too well known overseas (I don't know that they are that well known here, for that matter), but if you can get hold of any of these movies, they do make for interesting true life stories.
