The Lies of the Victors

About This Movie

The Lies of the Victors is a gritty dive into the murky waters of journalism and ethics. Groys, played by a lesser-known actor, brings this bitter, cynical vibe that really nails the tension of the industry. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of a newsroom rife with ambition and deceit. The interplay between Groys and the intern adds a layer of complexity, as their relationship evolves amidst the backdrop of a story that feels all too real. It’s a haunting reflection on how narratives can be skewed, and the practical effects are subtle but effective, contributing to the film's raw energy. Not your typical thriller, it leans more into character study territory, which makes it distinctive.
