Jan 25th

L.I.E.

I picked this film up for cheap simply because it was part of the Tartan line, which is usually pretty solid for independent/foreign films. I didn't read the blurb or anything in detail so it wasn't the subject matter that initially attracted me.

I'm glad I did, because it's a really solid little film that deals with a quite hard and dark subject matter. It's probably a cop-out to compare it to other films, but for me L.I.E works where Mysterious Skin failed to. The ending and resolution surprised me, and was one of the most polished parts of the film.

Definitely worth a viewing, although it may not be some people's cup of tea, for obvious reasons...
