I’ve gotten into this a fair bit in past reviews, but
suffice to say, I really can’t stand Liar Revealed plots. The ones where the
entire story hinges on characters intentionally keeping secrets from each
other, mainly for the sake of giving the third act a chance to engage through
breaking the artificial tension created. It’s incredibly distracting to see in
pretty much any movie, as it turns whatever comes after the deceptive
moment into a prolonged waiting game. It’s tedious, and the kind of narrative
nonsense that can turn me right off from properly enjoying a work of fiction.
Enter this film, where none of the usual gripes apply.
