Curiosidades
This is one of the first seven films that the Screen Actors Guild foreclosed on due to non-payment of wages and residuals to SAG members. The rights were sold at auction on July 13, 2004.

Pifias
When Karchy picks up his girlfriend from the store where she works, they walk down a wheelchair ramp, which didn't exist in the 1960's.

Citas
Kevin Boyle: [Karchy is hidden in a confessionary pretending to be a priest] Bless me, father, for I have sinned. It's been three days since my last confession. The reason I'm here today, father... you know what it is. I just can't stop doing it. I get these thoughts and I can't keep my hands off of it. Father? Are you there, father? I know you said I was gonna go blind, father. I don't wanna go blind. Last night I did it three times. I'm doing so much that it hurts when I touch it. I wanna kill my dad again. I can't take it anymore. I hate him. I hate him, father. I just can't stand him hitting on my mom anymore.
Father Norton: Mr. Jonas! Get out of here. Gimme that! How dare you? Out! Out! You went too far this time. Too far!

A coming of age flick with a heart.

"Lies..." tells of a Hungraian immigrant 1960 high school boy who falls in with a corrupt D.J. (Bacon) on payola and jeopardizes the possibility of U.S. citizenship for himself and his father. The film showcases good performances by Bacon and Renfro, delivers the usual "slice of life" stuff, doesn't breach realism so as to make the emotional "buy in" impossible, and even conjures up some lessons about the importance of telling the truth...and lying. After all, we're all liars, aren't we.
