As World War II rages, a teenage boy in Germany is forced to confront a terrible truth--loyalty to his country now means loyalty to a lie. When his trusted bishop urges obedience to the Nazi regime, he begins to question everything. And after his Jewish friend is taken away, he secretly listens to banned radio broadcasts and launches a resistance, exposing the truth. But in a nation ruled by fear, defiance comes at a cost--and as the regime closes in, he must decide what it truly means to be a good German.

3/5

In short, this is a flawed film, but it feels like its heart is in the right place, and any anti-fascist message is welcome and timely in these dark times.

Matthew Whitaker’s film never surprises at any point during its running time, failing to add any singular artistic flair. While telling a compelling story, it plays like so many other films about that dark time in not-so-distant European history.

79/100

Truth and Treason oddly hits harder today with its themes, but is also surprisingly more than competent coming from Angel Studios.

While critics derided it as conventional, for first time filmmakers to choose this subject matter at a time like this shows courage.

5/10

The crafts are admirable, and the performances are durable, but the importance of this real-life tale doesn’t quite match the intensity showcased within this film.

Loved the convictions in this movie. To stand up for truth even at the cost of your own reputation or even life. Loved it. Well worth seeing.
