Lilies

In the lushness of the cinematography and the languid pacing of the interleaved storylines, the film feels somewhat like the product of another era, when attention spans were longer and ambiguities could be allowed to linger.


When a high-concept soap opera works overtime to be high art, you get something like Lilies.

The central relationships are compelling and intriguing, and Greyson is so good at freshly telling a story that we are pulled right in.

Greyson deserves much credit for realizing an outrageous theatrical conceit with clarity, consistency, and an arsenal of cinematic ideas.
