Another Blumhouse/Amazon production, The Lie is essentially a simple family drama in which separated parents try to cover up a terrible act done by their teenage daughter, and we watch as the secret becomes steadily unravelled. The main strength of this very uninventive film is the chillingly-evocative wintry camerawork, which is not reflected in the melodramatic performances. The inevitable denouement comes as no surprise at all, leaving The Lie barely above mid-afternoon TV fodder.
