Mon mariage est un mensonge

Since we got Hulu, we are really getting into LMN. We have begun to expect plot twists and they are usually predictable, but this movie had us guessing all along. The reveal at the end was something we did not expect. The movie was a little slow at times and seemed funny at times- but that was probably due to the Marla character. Once you realized she was somewhat of a psycho, you got along just fine.

Good movie, would watch again.

5/10.

From the beginning he was interesting, he kept his attention all the time, the acting was not very bad. It wasn't predictable and I expected the film to be a lot worse.

Therapist Alison Whitford (Erin Karpluk) is heart-broken when her husband gets killed in a hit-and-run. Police Det. Gabriel Strickland believes it to be murder. She is confronted by Marla Mitchell (Kate Corbett) who turns out to be his other wife. They find that he was first married to Cheryl Volberg (Kelly Rutherford) and has no legitimate source of income.

I'm going with this movie until Alison fails to foresee Cheryl's refusal. Everybody seems to be smart at the beginning. Everybody needs to be smart in order for this to be a good thriller. That's the secret to making this movie work. The writing has to be smart. Getting the wives to agree on the money does not make it any more legal. Alison really only has two options. She can go to the cops or she can go take the money herself. At the very least, she should have held onto the passcode as leverage. I would have liked to see her go to the dark side and have her world descend into corruption. That's the better movie.

Perhaps too clever for its own good, this is one of those stories that seem to be made up on the run, where anyone could be the guilty party - but the writers then pull the rug from under your feet and add an extra ending that feels like a too-much-to-believe stretch - and way overly manipulative to be fully convincing. For those hooked on who-done-its and don't mind being taken for a ride.

Nothing we haven't seen before. It's been done way better. A man is hit by a car (which turned out not to be an accident) and his wife finds out he was also married to two women other women expect for her. It's a whodunnit not so good lifetime movie. The actors are good but they are not at their best and the plot is just mediocre. We also don't get a definitive answer to who actually murdered this man. Skip it.
