The Invention of Lying

The Invention of Lying is a great concept, but poorly executed. Both in its idea of ‘lying’ in itself, or the birth of religion, in itself, it is interesting, yet it fails to adequately deal with either issue… and oscillates between melodrama and comedy and romance. Ultimately, the movie is too slow-paced to be interesting… and not worthy of a slow-paced movie’s attention. Wait to see it on TV.
