The Good Liar is less than the sum of its prestigious parts, but Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren keep the proceedings consistently watchable.

For their first appearance together onscreen, [Condon] distills from the McKellen-Mirren team an energy that is devastating. November 18, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Through it all, however, Mirren and McKellen never waver. Smooth at being smooth, their conviction always convinces us, and their ability to register multiple subtle changes of emotion is consistently impressive. November 15, 2019 | Full Review…

It would take a good liar to tell you this succeeds as a taut thriller, but even that wouldn't be able to cover up the truth. February 6, 2020 | Rating: 4/10 | Full Review…

It's hard to guess the motivations of the characters...Mirren and McKellen are always fun to watch, no matter the material, but this material is wobbly. January 13, 2020 | Full Review…

Between their performances, Condon's handsome, confident direction and a fine score by Carter Burwell, the movie is well-crafted pleasure. January 6, 2020 | Full Review…
