The Good Lie—one film that shines all the way to the bank—WOW! This is a great
inspirational film! It’s all about the human spirit, good ethics, being
patient, survival, adaptability, being open to change…the list goes on and on…making
the impossible, possible…never giving up on a dream even if it takes years of a
life to accomplish. This is a film to love. The conclusion is perfect and so
rightfully done. It’s about love and family and never giving up. The presentation,
acting, and portrayal are great. The entire script and storyline are built on
ethics and morality and yet an audience does not feel preached to…the message
is strong and absolutely meaningful…but not at one moment does one feel coerced
or forced by a ‘message’. The message just flows honestly…something we all
innately know and in that it is a human film. Reese Witherspoon is wonderful as
she makes her transformation. Corey Stoll is a great supporting actor. Arnold
Oceng, Ger Duany, Emmauel Jal, and Kuoth Wiel casting are so well done. The children
in the early part of the film have been cast exceptionally well. Great work for
all involved. Lots of after viewing discussion available. It’s
a good addition to the home video library. Be aware there are some
violent scenes, but most of the violence is suggested rather than openly acted.
