Advanced Little White Lies Review - Jess Smith


Review Draft:



2nd two paragraphs

1st Edit:



Having similarities to Shyamalan’s, The Sixth Sense, Marshall’s has used the same touching yet psychologically challenging concept and hybrid of genres. With both characters representing a close sibling relationship, this is something that many audience members may watch and desire, making the film can either be very heart-warmingly pleasing or uncomfortable to watch. Furthermore, this film has also challenged viewers by embodying admix of psychological and social realism themes throughout, such as questioning the mind, how personalities are moulded for different people, leading to them not being able to ‘fit in’ and why people feel a certain way. This directs you into having the urge to protect the troubled protagonist.


The cinematography further focuses on the current issues of concern that every country in the world is currently dealing with, associated with teens, like brutal bullying, leading to individuals feeling worthless, out of place and dejected from society. Depression is a powerful, yet pressing issue that Marshall wanted to highlight throughout her film and this apparent within the protagonist, however only for a minimal duration of the film, emphasising the positive factor that there can always be light at the end of the tunnel for those suffering.
