The Good Lie (2014)
7/10
Change of life...
3 February 2016
"The Good Lie" is a drama movie in which we watch the fight of Sudanese to survive in the start and after how they resettle in America. Especially this movie focuses on a group of Sudanese refugees who arrive in Kansas City, Missouri for a new start.

I liked this movie because it is based on true facts and because it shows us what difficulties and obstacles had to pass all these people in order to just feel safe. I liked very much the cinematography of this movie and also the direction of it, which made by Philippe Falardeau. Another thing that it has to be mentioned is the difference between the western culture and the African, and how simple and more beautiful can be your life without having all these conveniences that we have nowadays. I have also to admit that the interpretation of Reese Witherspoon was very good. Equally good was also the interpretation of Arnold Oceng who played a Sudanese refuge called Mamere.

Finally I believe that "The Good Lie" is a very good movie and worth watching because it is a lesson of life. This movie can make you understand very good how some people are very lucky in life without knowing it.
