Lying is a 2006 American psychological drama film by writer and first-time director M. Blash. It stars Chloë Sevigny, Jena Malone, Leelee Sobieski, and Henry Gummer.[3][2] and premiered at the Directors Fortnight sidebar at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.[4][5] The film had a limited US release in 2008, followed by a DVD release in May 2009 and a small theatrical re-release in September 2009.

While the film follows a fairly loose, ambiguous narrative, it focuses on a group of acquaintances who spend the weekend together at a remote country house; the situation becomes complex throughout the days, though, as one of the women turns out to be a pathological liar.
