Lie

About This Movie

Lie from Ramiz Azizbeyli is one of those films that really digs into the psyche of loss. It's heavy, almost suffocating at times, as we follow Yavar, who’s carrying this unbearable burden of telling his wife about their son's fate. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the pacing feels deliberate, almost agonizing in its realism. You can feel the weight of grief and denial just hanging in the air. The performances are raw, especially that of Yavar—there's this palpable desperation that makes it hard to look away. It's not flashy; it's more about the emotional landscape and the moral complexity of a father caught in such a tragic situation. Really brings you into the heart of conflict, both externally in war and internally within families.

Intense exploration of family dynamics. · Strong performances that evoke deep empathy. · Atmospheric pacing that enhances emotional weight.
