Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
True Story digs deeper into the cultural fascination with killers and attempts a potent corrective along the way, reminding us who's been lost but also how justice isn't just another gripping procedural.

Director Rupert Goold keeps things appropriately creepy, but True Story is no Capote.

fresh:
It's as good as any work I've seen in a film in 2015, and "True Story" is one of the better movies to come along this year.

rotten:
Filming a drama about the compromises and conventions of storytelling, Goold falls prey to them. He lacks the pulp verve and the symbolic imagination to illuminate or even convey the characters' mysteries.

rotten:
What's the opposite of stealing a movie? Putting it back? Looking the other way? Laziness? Whatever it is, that's where I am with James Franco.
