The Four Faced Liar

Two handsome young couples: Trip and Chloe are cool and hip and old-Greenwich Village hands, whilst Greg and Molly are uptight and unsure as the newbie’s in town. They meet one night by chance in a neighborhood bar … The Four Faced Liar … along with Bridget a pretty and very in-your-face promiscuous lesbian who is Trip’s oldest friend and present roommate. Despite their differences they all soon become firm friends and very quickly Bridget develops a crush on Molly who eventually becomes curious enough to see where it could lead too.

This is a delightful and refreshingly energetic and honest view of life about a charming group of 20 year olds making out in the big city. It is totally captivating and has a sensibility about relationships and romance that is a joy to watch, and although ostensibly a small budget indie movie it remarkably has all the finesse and production values that one expects only from a major Hollywood studio.

I fell in love with it at first sight at Slamdance (the indies own festival at ‘Sundance’) and encouraged it to be included as the Gala Centerpiece at last years MGLFF. And I ended up giving Marja Ryan-Lewis who wrote, co-starred, and co-produced it, THE ROGER WALKER-DACK AWARD FOR EMERGING TALENT IN QUEER CINEMA for 2010. That’s how much I liked it.
