Star constellation

The work of Jean-Marc Valle has a lot of merits,allowing with a clear conscience to recommend a film, at the moment consisting of seven episodes, to view. Firstly, "Big Little Lie" - a series, whose cast contains a lot of popular performers and exemplary actor's works. At the center of the narrative are three main characters, the viewers' attention is evenly distributed among the activists Madeline (R. Witherspoon), fighting for the rights of each and every one, trying to pacify his teenage daughter and yearn for the ex-spouse in the present (A. Scott). The second heroine is in the past a successful lawyer, Celeste (N. Kidman), who exchanged a successfully developing career for the family altar and building a relationship on the verge of aggression and passion with her husband-businessman (A. Skarsgaard). The third is the young hippie mother Jane (Sh. Woodley), who recently moved to the city and immediately fell under the yoke of the sacrificial mother (L. Dern). Children have heroines in the same class, so they often communicate with each other in a local cafeteria.

Detective intrigue

Secondly, the tape "Big little lie" reviewsrecommend to view because of the story, coined by Liane Moriarty, who is very witty, playful, at the same time addressing the problem of domestic violence. The project can be perceived as a detective with an unusual disposition, because as in the pilot at the next charitable reception at school there is a murder, but the creators before the final episode do not disclose to the beholder not only the identity of the killer, but even the victim. And in general, the topic of violence in our society is more than relevant and painful, so it's amazing how the director approaches her coverage with lightness and subtle humor.

Magnificent direction

All 7 episodes of the project were directed by J.-M. Valle, who has two Oscars for the biographical drama "The Dallas Club of Buyers" and the adventure drama "Wild." However, the mini-series "Big Little Lies" reviews filmmakers more compared to his picture "Destruction". According to experts, in the new work the visionary visually and narratively develops the techniques demonstrated in this film. He actively uses instead of the usual flashbacks, brief montage interruptions, telling about the past and present of his characters.

However, the main story frame for a largethe account can be described as a single flashback: the stories of the main heroines are demonstrated before the murder, they are diluted by fragments of a survey of eyewitnesses of the tragedy. In this case, the director achieves extraordinary acting skills from the whole ensemble, including from his favorite actresses - Laura Dern and Reese Witherspoon. To the undoubted merits of the film "Big Little Lies" reviews of reviewers include the efforts of the script writer David E. Kelly, in co-authorship with the author of the literary source, who registered all 7 episodes of the project. This added points to the series in terms of stylistic unity.

Advantages of the picture increase the place of shooting,amazing dizzy beauty of steep cliffs, clean sandy beaches, elegant viaducts and wonderful sunsets. The director now and then focuses on the views of the ocean, building a metaphor for the fact that behind the idyll of prosperous towns, imposingly stretched on the ocean coast, hide the most unsightly devils.
