Little Lies

On the evening of the school fundraiser a parent is killed, perhaps murdered, amidst the general mayhem of duelling Elvis' and screaming Audrey Hepburns. It's hard to suss out the actual details with all the gossipy innuendo surrounding a French nanny, bullied kids and an erotic book club. There's a lot going on here and Moriarity handles it all with a deft hand, mixing humour with darker truths and snappy banter. It's a literary Desperate Housewives meets earnest After School special for adults without tilting too far into either camp.
