We watched Where The Truth Lies (imdb | rotten tomatoes) last night, last year’s TIFF entry by Atom Egoyan. It was good, but I wouldn’t call it great. Overall the acting was good (though Alison Lohman seems to have studied at the Keanu Reeves School of Facial Expression Diversity), but that wasn’t enough. When the primary actor has to spend an entire scene explaining to the camera what happened rather than just showing it to us, I feel less like I’ve watched a film than a university lecture.

I so totally agree! I think Kevin Bacon can do no wrong and Colin Firth is… well… he’s Mr. Darcy! But there was something off about the movie and I realized that it was Alison Lohman. Glad to hear that I wasn’t the only one to think that…
