Review of Nothing But the Truth (2008) by Ana-Marija S — 13 Jan 2010

This political thriller had a firm story delivered by an astounding cast, under incredible direction and with a smart screenplay. Though at first it may seem that the film is about a few people and how they respond in the mess they find themselves in, but I think the film is about us, the audience.

This story and incredible portrayal of character with such depth and raw honesty made me put myself in their shoes like no film has forced me to do. It truly made me feel their fear, love, boldness, pain... This film forces you to actually consider how you would react in these situations.

My favourite part was Alan Alda's character's speech and his entire personality. But every actor's performance in this film was simply breathtaking. You could close your eyes throughout the whole film and still feel everything in their voices. That is how raw and real they were.
