Little White Lie

About This Movie

Little White Lie offers a curious blend of comedy and drama, centered around Barry, a down-and-out actor nursing his wounds post-breakup. The film has this sort of languid pacing that's fitting for its introspective tone. You see Barry in his disheveled state, clinging to the escapism of children's television. The accidental meeting with the presenter at an awards ceremony adds an unexpected twist, exploring themes of longing and the unpredictability of life. The performances are quite genuine, especially in how they capture Barry’s awkwardness and vulnerability. There's something distinct about how the story unfolds, the balance of humor and sadness feels quite relatable, like watching a friend stumble through their own mess.
