Synopsis

Despite the horrifying news that their friend has been injured in a car crash, a group of close friends decides to go ahead with their annual beach vacation. Though they hope to relax, their sense of guilt and friendships are tested. Soon, years of long-repressed lust and secrets will be revealed.

Our take

With a terrific cast led by Marion Cotillard, this ensemble epic catches the sparks that fly in a vacationing group of friends who can’t be sure if they’re in a comedy or a drama. Tipping its hat to The Big Chill, not least in its jukebox cuts, Little White Lies was a French box-office sensation.
