Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
The dimly lit, exquisitely composed cinematography, by Guillermo Nieto, adds to the draw of this highly recommended movie.

New York Post
Rating: 4/5 --
It wraps up in its seeming apparatus of a murder thriller and prison saga, a more moving and overarching parable of female maturation and gut-wrenching motherly love.

Less than the sum of its parts? Yes. Nice parts? Yes.

Financial Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Frustratingly, the film tells us little about the crime itself and the denouement is a little unconvincing. The taste of sweat and fear is, however, real enough.

Rating: 4/4 --
Real inmates are extras, real cells provide the scenery: it has the desperate vitality of something barely made-up.

Riveting, harrowing and thoroughly infused with hope and love, this prison drama is so realistic that it's often difficult to watch

Little White Lies
Product Description:
Writer/director Pablo Trapero crafts this tender tale of an incarcerated woman who gives birth to a baby boy and struggles to raise her son behind bars as she comes to the bleak realization that he is the only one who matters to her anymore. It all started when a pregnant Julia woke up in her apartment flanked by the bloodied bodies of her former lovers Nahuel and Romiro. Subsequently sent to a prison for mothers and pregnant convicts, Julia railed against the system by withdrawing into her own world. Upon giving birth, Julia realizes just how difficult it could be to raise a son in prison, but each day her feelings for the boy swell stronger within her. Later, when Julia pays a visit to Romiro in the men's prison, it becomes obvious that the couple's feelings for one another are just as muddled as the events of that fateful night back in Julia's apartment.
