After a traumatic event, friends go on a beach vacation where their relationships are sorely tested as they are forced to admit the little lies they have been telling one another.

Critics Consensus

Little White Lies luxuriates in the company of its impressive cast and small-scale dilemmas to its detriment, yielding a comedy of initial charm that meanders into boredom.

Little White Lies is less a portrait of the poignance and beauty of lasting, mostly platonic relationships than a lesson in how to be a shitty friend.

3/4

"Little White Lies" is a bit too long, but has plenty of Gallic charm.

2.5/4

A sprawling, initially engaging French comedy-drama that became a hit in France but ultimately underwhelms.

3.5/5

It is a film of emotional comings and goings, disappointments, silences and relapses. [Full Review in Spanish]

The real power in Canet's Little White Lies is its group of familiar, loveable and likeable characters who all could be someone we would love to know and befriend.

2/5

Guillaume Canet's great mistake is in having the gall to craft a moral about the seeming pettiness and emotional blindness of this bunch of vacationing, bourgeois Parisiens.

The majority of the AngloAmerican critics panned this movie. They are the same people who give 5 stars to "The Dark Knight Rises" and similar bombastic pastiches from Hollywood, proving once again that these "critics" are only able to praise all the movies "Made in USA" and do not understand a thing of real cinema. This movie is amazing. It is The Big Chill 2.0. Great cast, great script and true emotions.

Very entertaining. Certainly reminiscent of the Big Chill, (not a bad thing). A tad long, but worth it.

Personajes muy humanos y reales, las actuaciones te hacen creer que lo son. Muy buena quimica entre el grupo. Desearia tener un grupo asi cada verano
