Deneuve is an absolute riot as Fabienne, dishing out sass like it’s going out of couture fashion... The Truth hurts, but Kore-eda’s family drama doesn’t do much more than bruise.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 11, 2022

The truth about The Truth is Kore-eda’s film only goes as deep as the shallow and vain mindset of the Fabienne character, which limits its impact.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 1, 2022

“The Truth” is a treat for those of us who love sitting back and watching great performers act.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 27, 2022

Though located far from Kore-eda's usual Japanese settings, the Paris family in "The Truth" reveals the same concerns as families in other Kore-eda films and underlines the same universal truths & problems that families around the world continue to share.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 14, 2022

Funny, wry, emotionally potent, and like most films by Hirokazu Kore-eda operates on multiple levels -- usually some kind of domestic tragicomedy under which lies profound existential disquiet.

| Apr 7, 2022

Though Kore-eda has changed the location and language of his characters, his thematic interest in family dynamics remains firmly intact.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 18, 2022

Paychecks.

| Original Score: D | Feb 16, 2022

There is no other director in the world who addresses and resolves family issues like Hirokazu Kore-eda. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 19, 2021

Overall, The Truth is a light-hearted feature, leisurely paced with embedded humour. Koreeda's intention might be more cerebral than comical.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 17, 2021

[Filmmaker Hirokazu Koreeda] handles personal relationships like few others. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 8, 2021

This tale of familial strife is a frustrating hodgepodge that goes nowhere fast, wasting the stellar pairing of Juliette Binoche and Catherine Deneuve.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 23, 2021

[Kore-eda] seems so disengaged in the film that, when his name appears during the end credits, it comes as something of a shock.

| Jun 5, 2021

Deneuve and Binoche's brilliant performances give a strong boost to the [film's] aim of showing... a celebrity's wounded narcissism in the face of aging and the pressures of impending retirement. [Full review in Spanish]

| Apr 23, 2021

A damn good actor's showcase.

| Jan 11, 2021

Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda's playful and thoughtful foray into cinephilia-fueled Franco-existentialism.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 21, 2020

[Koreeda] is normally more interested in conciliate than to set apart.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 15, 2020

Hirokazu Koreeda's first film not in his native Japanese proves directing is about so much more than the dialogue. He knows when to reveal the whole tableau and when to gift us with a close up of master actors Deneuve and Binoche.

| Original Score: 8 | Dec 5, 2020

How is it that a master filmmaker like Hirokazu Kore-eda can pair with Deneuve and Binoche and make a film this dully melodramatic and uninteresting?

| Nov 3, 2020

Showing little sign of discomfort himself working abroad, Kore-eda is on familiar thematic terrain here.

| Oct 12, 2020

Neither a colossal disappointment or as masterful as it could've been, The Truth is simply in the middle.
