Highly Overrated But Still Good

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Brilliant and touching

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

shot in a realistic, almost documentary style, Rules of Lies, is tough look at drug addiction and different attempts at recovery. It is the story of a group of people who strand themselves at an isolated farm to do manual labor and engage in group therapy to try to overcome their drug addiction. They have many rules which they must follow in order to achieve this goal.. I won't tell you more but it's gripping and harsh.. no make up, no fancy lighting.. just brutal real life.Fine performances all around, especially Jiri Langmejer acting against type, playing a hard boiled addict and dealer.Well worth a look.
