Where to Stream ‘The Good Liar’?

Crime-thrillers are one of the most popular film genres. If we look back in film history, we shall see that many of the best films of all time belong to this genre. ‘The Good Liar‘ is another important addition to this genre, and the main attraction of the film is, of course, the pairing of the legendary British actors Helen Mirren and Sir Ian McKellen. The film is based on the similarly-titled book by Nicholas Searle and is directed by Bill Condon, and it must be said that it is quite a departure from the films we are usually used to seeing from Condon. He has earlier directed the last two films of the ‘Twilight‘ franchise and also helmed Disney’s ‘Beauty and the Beast‘ (2017).

Though Mirren and McKellen have each played important characters in several films during their long and illustrious careers, the two British legends have never shared the screen together until Condon made this possible. The two thespians have done several plays together, with ‘The Dance of Death’ being their first project alongside each other. In an interview with Los Angeles Times, Condon said that when the script of the film came to him, he found himself reading the line of the character Betty in Mirren’s voice. This urged Condon to approach Mirren for the role. We are here to tell you where you can watch ‘The Good Liar’, but before that let us guide you through what the film is actually about:

What is The Good Liar About?

‘The Good Liar’ is an intense crime thriller which centers around a con artist called Roy Courtnay (McKellen).

On a quest for a new victim, Roy comes across a former history teacher of Oxford called Betty McLeish (Mirren) who lives all by herself and has around a couple of million pounds in savings. Roy decides that this is a golden opportunity for him and begins talking to Betty. Over a certain period of time, he convinces Betty to give him a place to stay at her own home.

Problems arise for Roy when Betty’s grandson comes to visit her and reveals that Roy Courtnay was actually a British soldier who was killed in 1948. However, Roy manages to hold on to his own and Betty’s trust in him remains the same. The main problem in Roy succeeding in his mission is something that happens to him unknowingly. He falls in love with Betty and starts feeling sorry for her, something which has never happened to him before
