The Four-Faced Liar

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!

This involves four 20 somethings in NYC. Womanizing lesbian Bridget (Marja Lewis Ryan) lives with her str8 roommate Trip (Todd Kubrak). He's having problems with his girlfriend Chloe (Liz Osborne). Greg (Daniel Carlisle) and Molly (Emily Peck) are living together before they get married...but Greg is too mild-mannered and Molly wants more. They all meet at a bar called Four Faced Liar. They become friends but then Molly falls in love with Bridget and things get unpleasant.

As I said the cast is attractive (especially Carlisle) and it's well done...but there's nothing really new or extraordinary here. The story has been done before and, in a lot of ways, this just seems like an ordinary Hollywood movie with a lesbian twist. We almost constantly hear some song on the soundtrack while watching the characters react to something. Seriously--that's been done hundreds of times before and this adds nothing new. However I must admit the songs were good. Also good is the script--it's well-written and interesting and it had an ending that no Hollywood studio would touch. The acting was all good--especially by Ryan and Kubrak. Carlisle does wonders with a very hard role. His character had to always be laid-back and passive--but you see the sadness and anger in his eyes. When he blows up at the end it's shocking--as it should be. No great shakes but worth seeing. Not rated but it would get an R for language and some discreet lesbian sex scenes. BTW--the cover of the DVD suggests that this is a sex movie and it isn't. No nudity here at all but it comes close a few times. I give it a 7.

I Truth had not very good expectations about this movie and i just saw it today as my part of the boring Sunday mornings.

It really surprised me in a great way because the actors were honest and vulnerable.

The leads actresses just have such a wonderful chemistry and they find their lives fits step by step trough the whole movie.

It is about choices, love,heartbreak, lies, truth, and most important...finding the person perfect for us.

This is the movie to the ones who doesn't see relationship only in a particular gender, it's more than that. The feelings involve were believable in every single scene.

A must see, indeed.

Politically correct crap that should have at least PG tag, instead it's on home TV in the middle of the day... And it's not a romantic comedy at all, more like tragedy/drama.

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.
