Editor’s note: A Smile Doesn't Lie (2024) in a nutshell: A confident blend of Comedy, Drama, focused more on tone than spectacle. Christine Paillard keeps the storytelling tight, favoring character beats over empty flash. Jean-Pascal Zadi, Judith Magre, Emmanuelle Devos anchor the film with grounded, unshowy work. The 1h 35m runtime suits the material; scenes land without dragging. Reception is mixed; it works best if you’re in the mood for its specific tone. If the premise speaks to you, this one’s easy to recommend.
