The Truth | Ratings & Reviews

"This is a film that belongs to Deneuve and Binoche and those expecting expertly delivered emotional manipulation and fireworks between the pair’s characters will not be disappointed."

StuffStuff

"If you like complex human studies directed and realised with the utmost finesse, make sure you put this one on your holiday viewing list."

FilmInkFilmInk

"It feels like a chamber piece because it is: a chance for the director to observe an ocean-going star in all her glory, to see what he can do as her captain."

Sydney Morning HeraldSydney Morning Herald

"One of Deneuve's greatest performances, with Kore-eda transforming the magisterial persona she frequently supplies to other directors into something more complex, tragic and yet defiant. She deserves awards for it. And so does the film."

The TimesThe Times

"A very European film of charm and wit that hits the occasional emotional high note, and sees Catherine Deneuve embracing her tastiest role since Potiche with verve and gusto."

Screen DailyScreen Daily

"It has the playful lightness of touch, the wit and warmth that are an essential part of the Kore-eda signature; it's also an affectionate ode to French cinema itself..."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"From first shot to last, it's a film of high wit and confidence and verve, an astonishingly fluid and accomplished act of boundary-leaping."

VarietyVariety

"Yes, Kore-eda's tale is warm and soothing, verging on over-cosy. But it contains a hard core of emotional truth, like the pea beneath the mattress that woke up the princess."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"A keenly observed, wit-stippled drama of extended family life..."
