The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
As much about deception as it is the fear of being forsaken, White Lie unfurls to become an unexpected empathy inquest. - 88
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
White Lie is a wildly entertaining ride. - 80
Film Threat
Directors Calvin Thomas and Yonah Lewis deserve credit for taking a gutsy leap with the subject matter and delivering without pulling any punches. - 80
We Got This Covered
As a timely testament to our willingness to validate and support rather than investigate, White Lie is both insightful and terrifying. - 75
The Film Stage
Helped by a strong lead performance that’s neither too big nor too small (just look at the pitch-perfect pinched reactions from Rohl every time she’s challenged on her lie) the film maintains a strong sense restraint amidst all the deliberate discomfort. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Driven by nuanced, persuasive performances and shot with an urgent, jittery tension, White Lie is a compelling close-up character study of a recklessly needy anti-heroine caught in an impossible dilemma of her own making.
