The Effects of Lying
New York Asian Film Festival 2023
July 14 - 30, 2023
With a smashing cast, the majority of whom just happen to be British Asian, The Effects of Lying cleverly milks the universal truisms of family dysfunction for both philosophical reflection and savage laughs galore.
Q&A with Aizzah Fatima, Isher Sahota, and Jon Tarcy
Naveen’s day gets off to a bad start when he fights with his belligerent wife and then miserably fails to navigate his teenage daughter’s rebellious tantrums. Murphy’s Law quickly rears its ugly head as things get progressively worse in irreverently farcical fashion. His solipsistic brother and demented father soon join the fray, and a multitude of crossed signals leads to slapstick-like shenanigans. As darkly ironic secrets are revealed, the whole family and a variety of interlopers find themselves on a tragicomic descent into chaos. With a smashing cast, the majority of whom just happen to be British Asian, The Effects of Lying cleverly milks the universal truisms of family dysfunction for both philosophical reflection and savage laughs galore.
