Julie R @JulieDR May 4, 2026 Ultimately it just feels hollow. You never really know the depth of what happened. Much of the story remains mysterious until you no longer care at all. Really missed the mark. See more

Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 2, 2026 I went into True Story expecting a gripping, character-driven thriller, but it ended up feeling pretty average. The performances from Jonah Hill and James Franco are solid, and there are moments where the tension starts to build, but it never fully pays off. The story has an interesting premise, but the pacing drags and the film feels more restrained than it should be. Instead of diving deeper into the psychological aspects, it stays somewhat surface-level, which makes it hard to stay fully engaged. It’s not bad by any means, just kind of forgettable. Overall, I’d give it a 5/10—it had potential, but didn’t quite stick the landing. See more

kevenquinlan T @RT75276071 Jul 26, 2025 Ok, the acting is really good, as you'd expect, but like the other reviewers agree- it just doesn't really grab you. Why the dude did it seems an afterthought and that they use this kind of machiavellian vibe doesn't ring true to the character. It trys to be a few things but manages not to be any of them and it's not a very great watch. This is going to be one of the few 3 1/2 star movies I don't keep. I'm glad I seen it but it's not going to be something I'm going to want to watch again nor is anything special enough about it to keep for memorabilias sake. (Jonah is really fun to watch though, an actors, actor.) See more

Rich S @RPS1963 Apr 27, 2025 Jonah Hill is a great choice to play this part. He is nothing if not a rube for Franco to play with -- both on screen and off it. See more

Frans B @FransB Mar 30, 2025 Jonah & Franco very convincing in character. I think this movie deserves a thumbs up. Great story, well choreographed and filmed. Very good cinematography. Twists and turns that will keep you entertained and excited. Lots of detail in the works and meticulous editing. Covers such a wide range of emotions. Touching to say the least. One man can make a difference, contrary to popular believe. Remember, it is a movie dramatized and all that, so just keep an open mind, you will probably enjoy it See more

Leopold S @RT71373031 Nov 8, 2024 A real smug, self important bore with point, no focus, no real reason ton have been made. The director/writer reeks of being from the "theahtah" and clearly though he was creating a masterpieces.... Zzzzzz See more
