Kisses Don't Lie

About This Movie

Kisses Don't Lie is a curious entry from '89 that seems to float in the ether of lesser-known titles. The film has this intriguing, almost dreamlike quality, with a pace that feels both languid and intentional. Performance-wise, there’s a rawness that gives the characters an engaging authenticity, even if the plot leaves some gaps. It leans into themes of love and betrayal, but it’s more about the atmosphere than a tight narrative. The practical effects are minimal, which adds to its charm—everything feels very grounded. It’s like a time capsule of that era, with a vibe that’s hard to pinpoint but really sticks with you after watching.

Kisses Don't Lie has seen limited releases over the years, making it a bit of a gem for collectors who appreciate the obscure. Its VHS releases are particularly sought after, as there hasn’t been a significant push for a proper DVD or Blu-ray remaster. Interest is slowly growing, especially among those who enjoy diving into the less commercial side of cinema from the late '80s.
