A Big Lie and Its Consequences Unfold in the New Comedy 'Sick Girl'

Ben Friedman

In a new video for Highbrow Magazine, contributing writer and film critic Ben Friedman reviews the new dark comedy, Sick Girl. Nina Dobrev stars as Wren, who spreads an intentional, big lie in order to rally her friends around her -- but her lie inevitably brings about unexpected consequences. Jennifer Cram wrote and directed Sick Girl, and Friedman gives the film a high rating.

What really makes this movie stand out is the brilliant writing and directing of Martin McDonagh, combined with the stellar performances from Colin Farrell as Padraic and Brendan Gleeson as Colm. Padraic goes through his own stages of grief since not only did he lose a friend in Colm, but others on the island have died, making it feel like Padraic’s world is shrinking. This all happens against the backdrop of the civil war.
