"L.I.E." has that low budget indie feel with some awful music, mostly unfamiliar faces, plot holes, poor makeup, etc. However, at the center is an almost realistic slice-of-15year old boy-life story with sterling performances by Cox and Dano. Disturbing in subject, earnest in purpose, and provocative in viewing, "L.I.E." makes for a moderately intriguing watch for those with the stomach for an unhappy flick about an older man who covets a young boy.
