Why do people lie?

About This Movie

So, 'Why Do People Lie?' is this intriguing mix of comedy, drama, and a sprinkle of fantasy. It’s kind of raw and real, focusing on Javi’s struggle with his mother, who’s just had a mild schizophrenia episode. The dynamic between them is really fascinating; she’s refusing treatment while he’s pushing for her to get help. The performances have this genuine quality - you can feel the tension between love and frustration. The pacing is a bit uneven, which actually adds to the atmosphere, giving it an almost dreamlike quality at times. There's a surreal vibe in some scenes that keeps you guessing. It’s definitely not your typical film about mental health, and that’s what makes it stand out.
