The tragic death of 21-year-old Grace Millane while on a solo holiday made headlines worldwide for her murderer's violent history and attitude towards women. That was illustrated during a 2019 trial, where her killer was found guilty after offering a so-called "rough sex" defense that Millane could not rebut, and her family had to hear in court. Jesse Kempson, dubbed the Tinder killer, was eventually found guilty of murder and sentenced to a life sentence, with 17 years in prison without parole. The Lie: The Murder of Grace Millane is set to present newly released CCTV footage and interviews that captures Millane's Tinder date before she was strangled to death and holds a mirror up to broader issues of violence against women in society.

Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's devastating. In some ways it felt like a violation... It left me feeling like I had watched a snuff film. Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz If the film's existence in any way speeds up a ban on the so-called "rough sex" defence, and helps to spare another family from having to sit through a trial in which that is deployed, then it will have achieved a great deal. Rated: 3.5/5 May 9, 2024 Full Review T.J. Callahan AWFJ.org Helena Coan's not only chillingly recounts the details leading to the death of Grace, the young and vibrant British tourist murdered in Australia, but also is meant to hold a mirror up to a society with a problem of violence towards women. Mar 31, 2024 Full Review Q.V. Hough Vague Visages "Part of the film’s effectiveness lies in the iceberg-style storytelling, which respects the audience’s intelligence by showing and addressing crime scene evidence without detailing the grisly specifics." Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Megan McLachlan Awards Daily Struggling to remember this particular news story? That’s an underlying point of this gripping documentary, that Millane’s murder sounds like so many other tragedies of “women doing things alone." [...] Coan’s doc reveals itself like a horror film. Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies What this documentary doesn't seem to care about ... is Grace Millane... Rated: 2/4 Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
