What critics compared The Good Lie to
The film's honeyed artistry may not sear the imagination like the phantasmagoria of Elem Klimov's Come and See , yet Falardeau's invitation to witness the horrors that have afflicted the Sudanese since the war ripped apart their homeland isn't beholden to bogus uplift.
