James Wegg JWR 'Caught in a lie' takes on triple meaning in director/writer Nicolas Flessa's terribly-honest, perfectly-paced tale of infidelity, selfishness and emotional despair. Rated: 4.5/5 Sep 22, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member No. Not on any level. Nowhere in this sad sack of pieces thrown together is there anything resembling a coherent, emotional or engaging movie. The three leads engage in a lot of staring, brows furrowed and general consternation. She's cheating on her boyfriend with a druggie...who is so in the closet he fights a guy at a bar who touches him but has sex with her boyfriend. Imagine where all this ends. Straight never gets to connect these people in any meaningful way, let alone create a fully realized world. The movie isn't even game enough to show nudity. That may have helped the entire endeavor. Or maybe not. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member No. Not on any level.
