Overview:

We Were Liars (2025) is a deeply emotional and psychologically intense drama based on the bestselling novel by E. Lockhart. Set on a secluded private island owned by the powerful Sinclair family, the film follows Cadence Sinclair Eastman, a privileged yet emotionally fragile teenager who spends each summer with her extended family in apparent bliss—until one summer shatters everything.

After suffering a mysterious accident during her fifteenth summer on the island, Cadence is left with severe memory loss and unexplained migraines. As she returns to the island two years later, Cadence is determined to piece together what really happened that fateful summer. Her cousins Johnny and Mirren, along with her first love Gat, are distant and guarded, as if protecting a secret too painful to confront. As she slowly reconnects with them, memories begin to resurface—fragmented, confusing, and dark.

Through a mix of flashbacks and present-day moments, the film unravels a powerful tale of love, grief, guilt, and the burden of family expectations. The once-idyllic setting reveals hidden cracks beneath its glossy surface, exposing long-held secrets, lies, and devastating consequences.

Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, We Were Liars captures the poetic and haunting tone of the original novel while delivering a visually striking and emotionally gripping cinematic experience. With standout performances from Sadie Sink as Cadence and Jacob Tremblay as Gat, the film explores themes of privilege, emotional trauma, and the devastating price of silence.

As the truth finally comes to light, We Were Liars leaves viewers shaken and reflective, reminding us that not everything beautiful is honest—and that sometimes, the biggest lies are the ones we tell ourselves.
