4.0 out of 5 starsFather-daughter coming-of-age saga
By Paul Allaer TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on September 24, 2012
Format: DVD
Let me state upfront that I've been a fan of the Film Movement library of foreign and indie movies for some times, in fact I finally gave in and subscribed to the DVD Of the Month club earlier this year. This movie is the September, 2012 release in that subscription.

"Off-White Lies" (2011 release from Israel; 89 min.) brings the tale of 13 yr. old Libby, who we learn later lived in California, but her mother (for reasons never explained) sent her to Israel to come live with her father. It's been years that Libby and her father have seen each other, and so they need to get to know each other again. Pretty soon, we learn that the father is "in between apartments", and so the pair drifts around Israel. When Hezbollah starts bombing the north of Israel, causing thousands to feel to the south, the pair pretends to be refugees from the north and are taken in by a well-off family in Jerusalem. To tell you more of the plot would ruin your viewing experience of the movie, you'll just have to see how it all plays out for yourself.

Several comments: the focus is of course on the father-daughter relationship, and it is quite good at doing so. But the movie is more than that: it also explores the coming-of-age of 13 yr. old Libby, and at that level the movie is possibly even better (the young actress portraying Libby is just outstanding). Finally, the movie also is an Israeli travelogue of sorts, as the father-daughter pair travel all over, and we get to witness the beauty of the country. I had the good fortune of visiting Israel 2 years ago, and was blown away by what I saw there, easily one of the best trips in my life time. Bottom line: "Off-White Lies" is another worthwhile addition to the already rich Film Movement catalog of foreign movies. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 starsA truly moving Israeli Dramedy
By quentin on August 8, 2012
Format: DVD
If you're looking for a sweet and entertaining drama-comedy touching on themes of love and family, Off White Lies is a must-see. This Israeli gem tells the story of Libi, an introverted teenager and her father Shaul who is totally disconnected from her and her problems. Shaul is that kind of father you would have loved to have when you were young until his childish attitude and excentricity drive you crazy.
But when Shaul and Libi find themselves both homeless, moving from places to places, masks fall and lies are revealed. Yet only truth can restore love and confidence in a family.

Off White Lies has not only a good plot but an amazing cast and striking visuals.
The film actually made me think of this excellent French movie called The Day I Saw Your Heart, where a father (Michel Blanc) and his daughter (Melanie Laurent) reconnect as love triumphs over years of lies.

Balancing with funny situations and moving sequences, Off White Lies has no other pretension than to offer you 86 minutes of pure happiness.

4.0 out of 5 starsAn Israeli Drama That Succeeds Best When Its Focus Is On Family
By K. Harris HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on March 1, 2013
Format: DVD
The Israeli film "Off White Lies," while not unpleasant, seems to be suffering from a mild identity crisis. Is it a touching drama about an estranged father reconnecting with his daughter? Or is it an observant look at the inherent dangers posed while living in a perpetually war torn land? Or is it a gentle social satire about manipulating the system? In parts, "Off White Lies" is all of these things, but they don't always coexist in harmony. That's not to say that I didn't like the movie. I did. The lead performances are very strong and the principle thread about the burgeoning father/daughter relationship, with its incumbent highs and lows, is really solid. But even the movie's tag line seems to want to sell the movie as a ribald comedy: "father, daughter...con-artists!" makes it sound like a wacky romp. I rarely address marketing when it comes to movies, but this is a case where I feel compelled to say a word. If you come to "Off White Lies" looking for a laugh riot "Paper Moon" style caper, you'll be sorely disappointed.

With the proper expectations, though, there are simple pleasures to be had in this slight tale. I just wished that director Maya Kenig had veered away from some of the contrivance of the plot (usually comic relief) and stayed true to her central characters. Gur Bentvich plays a ne'er-do-well dreamer, a taxi driver by day and an inventor by night. His daughter (Elya Inbar) comes to Israel from America to live with him and he must come to understand what being a father means. Over the course of the movie, they go through a number of different stages as they become comfortable with one another. To get by, they pose as refugees so they can ask for living assistance and this starts a series of untruths that begin as fun, but soon become a burden for the young girl.Read more ›
