For their first appearance together onscreen, [Condon] distills from the McKellen-Mirren team an energy that is devastating. Nov 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. Nov 15, 2019 | Full Review…

The Good Liar is ultimately a near-miss that offers up a few reasonable diversions along the way, the main one being the inspired pairing of the two leads. Nov 15, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

The calculation couldn't be clearer. Put two superb performers together and you're on your way to making an exceptional movie. Not so fast, though. The Good Liar is calculation from arch start to hollow finish. Nov 14, 2019 | Full Review…

Happily, Bill Condon's The Good Liar rejoices in old age's boundless capacity for treachery -- a senior citizen's dirty avidity for just one more piece of pie. Nov 20, 2019 | Full Review…

The movie's advertising emphasizes the Mirren/McKellen matchup, and anyone who comes primarily to see two acting giants play off each other won't be disappointed on that score. Nov 20, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Mirren and McKellen are always enjoyably watchable and they elevate a too twisty by half script. Nov 19, 2019 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

It [begins] like a good David Mamet play woven into a good Agatha Christie mystery... They undermine it all at the end of the movie... Nevertheless, wonderful performances by Helen [Mirren] and Ian [McKellen]. Nov 18, 2019 | Full Review…

Ultimately, The Good Liar is too serious for a movie about hot elders trying to pretend they don't speak German. Nov 18, 2019 | Full Review…
