剧情介绍
影片根据真实事件改编，1983-2005年间，有许多平民在苏丹的战火中流离失所，幸存者被当时的援救人员称为“苏丹的迷途男孩”（Lost Boys of Sudan），其中有一部分人，后来以难民的身份来到美国。片中威瑟斯彭扮演的凯瑞，帮助四位苏丹难民寻找工作，为他们争取合法权益，想方设法让他们与亲人团聚，并同他们结下了深厚的友谊。
影片的导演，曾执导过《拉扎老师》的菲利普·法拉迪约，坚持到非洲实地拍摄，坚持让真正的苏丹人来演。片中的演员Ger曾在难民营生活多年，另一位来自苏丹的演员Emmanuel则表示，电影就像是在讲他自己的故事。 Four Sudanese children are orphaned after their village is massacred in the Second Sudanese Civil War. Consequently, they make an arduous and dangerous trek through the plains, enduring hardship, death and sacrifice all the way until they reach safety in a refugee camp in Kenya. Years later, these youths are among 3600 selected for resettlement in America, only to have the one girl among them sent to Boston, while the three boys must to make a new life in Kansas City. Together, these young men must adjust to an alien culture even as the emotional baggage of their past haunts them.

影片似乎有些轻描淡写，显得剧情发展是不是有些太顺了？但故事真是好故事，好几处都令人动容！很喜欢
除去海报为了卖片公关特别印上的Reese，影片算是打破了观影前误以为这是“白人救世主”电影的误区。影片娓娓道来，并没有处理成调动泪腺的团聚故事，到收尾保持着问题的关注。因战乱流离的兄弟姊妹，在新世界小心翼翼学习着开关、披萨和毒品，对更糟糕的人施以援手，这份“好的谎言”无言却有能量，因为它组成了数个足以让人行走远方的动力。
配乐 闪回的地方好
每次看难民题材总要面对的一个问题：总感觉他们生活水平比自己强太多了。。
开篇部分还挺好看，越到后面越没劲额
影片的调子还是太柔了点，简直有点治愈片的意思，冲突与苦难揭示的不够，宗教的插入又挺刻意，感觉更像部带政治偏向性的公益宣传片。威瑟斯彭这跳线完全可有可无，还不出把镜头完全集中于四个难民身上，并且把逃难的戏份再加重加细与移民生活对半开的话，感染力会更深一点。导演对闪回的应用也比较平庸
非洲人的不容易。
的确主旋律了一些，但是很温情。那些生活在战乱和缺衣少食疾病折磨更谈不上受教育的地方的人民值得我们的同情和帮助。苏丹是他们的故乡，想离开也更留恋。弟弟说了一个美丽的谎言，不是为了骗人而是为了救哥哥离开苏丹。摄影很棒、配音也不错，看着很舒服的片子。
好善良
独行者步疾，结伴者行远。
Philippe Falardeau的电影都由内而外的美丽。Reese Witherspoon 应该多演Carrie 这种角色，第一次觉得她漂亮。片名“The Good Lie”似乎有点类似“Mr. Pip-2012”，马克吐温的“Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”，可惜似乎点题不足。
飞机片，剧情仓促，从一开始就能猜到结局那种
Meh
把美国比作天堂一样，带着高姿态傲慢的怜悯嘲弄看非洲难民。马梅尔去肯尼亚难民营找到西奥，让他冒用自己的身份去美国，自己留下来做医生。美国911过后查的那么严就没有指纹识别吗
If you want to go fast, go alone. If your want to go far, go together. 独行者步疾，结伴者行远。
