Review of Nothing But the Truth (2008) by Craig T — 06 May 2009

Writer/director Lurie explores issues and ideas in his films that are uniformly deeper and more engrossing than the films he produces, this being yet another shining example. An intriguing, but fairly clunky, beginning burgeons into a fiery exchange of adult ideas that soars through most of its second half, only to then be forehead-slappingly undermined by the film's final minutes.

Nonetheless, the performances are uniformly excellent, capped by what should have been an Oscar-nominated one by Alda.
