Review of Truth (2015) by Brent_Marchant — 31 Oct 2015

A mostly engaging, though occasionally confusing and slightly overwrought autopsy on one of the most controversial news stories of the 2004 presidential election campaign. The film is as much a eulogy for journalism in general as it is for the story in question, with a script that ultimately might have fared better with a less heavy-handed approach.

Despite these shortcomings, Cate Blanchett proves once again that she can do virtually whatever she wants on screen and succeed brilliantly, stealing the show from all of her very capable counterparts.
