Review of True Story (2015) by Compi24 — 27 Jan 2017
If you're looking for a film to reaffirm your belief in all the nauseating evils of the world, you may have found the right product in Rupert Goold's "True Story." It's got all the makings of a solid journalistic thriller -- magnetic performances, thematic intrigue, a realistic and grounded aesthetic -- but dear God was this a chore to watch; especially towards its gut-wrenching finale.
Take "The Insider," introduce it to "Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer," and wait around for nine months to get this corrupt lovechild of the two. A valid, passionate effort on all fronts, but an effort that i'd rather never see again.
