Review of The Truth About Emanuel (2013) by Kenneth S — 28 Jan 2014

I hate to waste my time watching a movie that goes nowhere, and after reading some of the negative reviews almost threw in towel after the first 15 minutes, but I decided to stick with it, and it was a great decision to do that.

You need to give this movie time to develop. It builds slowly, and you begin to wonder how a major point plot will resolve itself. And with very clever writing this does get resolved. The photography is excellent, and so is the cast and acting.

Some nice music also. I almost want to make some comparisons to Alfred Hitchcock, or Rod Serling. However, the story turns out to total real (not supernatural or a fantasy), and there is no violence or crime.

A very rewarding movie experience for the discriminating film viewer.
