White Lies

About This Movie

White Lies (1998) offers a quirky blend of comedy and crime, pulling you into a lighthearted yet chaotic narrative. The story revolves around a young woman, blissfully unaware of her true background, who gets swept into a world of thugs in Paris. It's got a certain charm, with an atmosphere that’s both playful and a bit dangerous, keeping the pacing brisk. The performances are an interesting mix; the lead carries a kind of naive charm while the supporting cast adds some real flavor, each character feeling distinct without overshadowing the main plot. The blend of practical effects and some slapstick moments creates a unique visual style, making it feel like a product of its time, yet it has a timelessness in its comedic approach to misunderstandings and mistaken identities.
