The Four-Faced Liar

This is the true reason you go to film festivals. What a great discovery. Incredibly well written, very well acted, and characters you truly want to see just "Work It Out" I was just pulled into this movie wanting to see where it was going. Of course, setting it in New York was just too perfect and you had to wonder if this was almost a true story. (I have no idea) The cinematography was just amazing for such a low budget film. I was incredibly glad it went the direction it did...you'll have to see it to find out what I'm talking about. Look for this movie. Take a date, one of any gender, and enjoy yourself. Great job Slamdance 2010! I'll be thinking about this movie, this director and these actors for quite sometime. I hope they all make it

For starters, as a lesbian themed movie, this one is excellent (not exactly hard to do considering the competition, but worth pointing out). As a movie in general, I think this is a nice character study. This movie has some great depth, and I've thought/discovered something new each time I've seen it. All of the leads do a great job. The actor who plays Greg is probably the weakest, but overall he is okay in his role.

The basic plot line is about a group of 4 people; Molly, Bridget, Trip, and Greg. Molly and Greg are a couple who have just moved to NYC together. They stumble across a bar The Four-Faced Liar one evening and meet Trip and Bridget. They become friends with them, and from there the film is basically a romantic drama. The main romantic tension is between Bridget and Molly. Bridget is an out lesbian who is basically a player. She and Molly develop a friendship, and from there something more grows. I think the film did a good job of building up this relationship. Molly did not seem immediately attracted to Bridget, but as their friendship grew her feelings did. Trip is also a great character. He is roommates and best friends with Bridget. He has a subplot with his girlfriend Chloe and develops a friendship with Greg.

Anyway, I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a lesbian themed film that is actually good. It is also just a good character study. It isn't perfect, but I think for what it was working with it's pretty good. I also think the music is a plus.

I just saw the movie at the Slamdance Film Festival and was extremely surprised by its quality.

The story is very smart, the actors very truthful, and the production extremely professional.

Congratulation to all the team who did a terrific job, especially the Director of Photography and the Director who turned a very sweat and smart script to a very visual and cinematic piece.

More than anything, I thought that the music bring it to a even greater level.

This looks like a $10 million dollar movie !

The four faced liar was smart, funny and pregnant with emotion. Opening her audience to the realities of a changed generation, Ryan tells the story of what love can truly be like for twenty-somethings everywhere. The production was fantastic and acting first rate. Each 'face' of this film is beautifully constructed and skillfully executed. The acting is fantastically truthful- the actors draw you into their lives and make it difficult to turn away. The film unfolds wonderfully leaving you excited for scene after scene. It boggles my mind how professional a film could turn out on such tight budget. It truly is a testament to the skill of the cast and crew. I look forward to future works from everyone in this production! Intellectually hysterical and stinging with passion, this film can't be missed!

"The Four-Faced Liar" seems to have an interesting enough title, and it is done very well for its low budget. It also has a whole host of problems.

Where should I begin? It doesn't really matter because the film itself doesn't begin anywhere, except for of course in New York City. I'm starting to think that young film-makers have never been anywhere else. It's supposed to be about four young New Yorkers finding love and figuring out life. But there's actually five of them; one couple just moved in together, one engaged couple, and their lesbian best friend. Which one of these is the insignificant character? I have no idea, they are all insignificant to me.

"The Four-Faced Liar" doesn't give me any reasons to care about these characters, and it doesn't give me any clue to where they are going (other than nowhere, of course, "because New York City is the greatest city in the world").

Influenced by "Friends", I think it's supposed to be an edgier and indie version of the show, except minus the comedy and minus any plot or storyline. "The Four-Faced Liar" even takes their title from "Friends". The show's original title was "Central Perk", the main hangout of the gang. Even for non-fans of the show, I would just watch a couple of random episodes, there would be much more in it than this film.
