Compulsive Liar

2019 · 111 min

A breezy, high-concept comedy where absurd lies snowball into chaotic fun, easy to watch and lighthearted.

Overview: Simon Aubert runs his entire life on lies. An executive at an aviation company, he lies about everything… Simon’s self-serving lies are so abundant that the universe (governed by a handful of Buddhist monks, it seems) decides to right a wrong by teaching him a lesson and making all of the lies reality on the eve of his company’s crucial meeting with a Russian businessman that Simon absolutely needs to impress in order to prevent the closure of the small-town plant where his twin brother Phil works.
How it feels: Light, absurd, satirical and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Deception, family, identity, work
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
