Career con man Roy (Ian McKellen) sets his sights on his latest mark: recently widowed Betty (Helen Mirren), worth millions. And he means to take it all. But as the two draw closer, what should have been another simple swindle takes on the ultimate stakes. Legendary actors Mirren and McKellen star together on screen for the first time in this suspenseful drama about the secrets people keep and the lies they live.
Closed captioned screening on Monday, December 23 at 7:00pm.
“For their first appearance together onscreen, [Condon] distills from the McKellen-Mirren team an energy that is devastating.” — Rex Reed, The Observer
“The pleasure of The Good Liar, and it’s a major one, is the chance to watch Mirren and McKellen act together in a cat-and-mouse duet that turns into an elegant waltz of affection and deception.” — Owen Gleiberman, Variety
“A wicked little thriller that delights in the moment at hand.” — David Ehrlich, IndieWire
