Lies We Tell arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The plotting in Lies We Tell is tight enough that the twists feel earned rather than assembled. A trusted driver must deal with his dead boss's Muslim mistress, her dark past pulling him into a life-and-death showdown with her notorious gangster cousin/ex-husband. The writing gets a boost from Gabriel Byrne and Sibylla Deen, who sell every scene they're in. It was released in 2018. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — Lies We Tell passes that test consistently. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.
