Movie Preview: An heiress, a “your own blood” arrangement, a murderous family history — “Lies We Tell”

This lovely, moody Irish period piece from Quiver stars Agnes O’Casey, David Wilmot and is based on a 19th century novel by Sheridan Le Fanu, who wrote an early “Vampyr” novel and other fiction that has been adapted for the screen over the years.

“Lies We Tell” has been a festival darling, is a sort of “Jane Eyre” guardian tale of intrigues, blood relation and a whiff of “evil,” was directed by Lisa Mulcahy, of “The Legend of Longwood” and TV’s “Red Rock,” and was scripted by Elizabeth Gooch, which suggests the feminine point of view of the protagonist was in good hands.

Coming soon.
