      Audience Member Telling drama about secrets and lies in Northern Ireland, which is perhaps appreciated more if you know a little about the history of the troubles there as a lot of the main characters are clearly based on known members of former paramilitary forces and current politicians there. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member I like Roger Allam very much, but the dialogue and direction in this production was poor. The subject is of course very uncomfortable, and we could definitely see the analogies. The Swedish-drama-stylie background music didn't help at all. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Alan Shalvey Film Ireland Magazine The writing is very solid and well crafted, and the finished product, while not being perfect, is well worth a watch. Mar 28, 2018 Full Review Paul Whitington Irish Independent [A] solid and efficient thriller. Rated: 3/5 Dec 5, 2016 Full Review Paddy Kehoe RTÉ (Ireland) The Truth Commissioner is a taut, engaging drama in the style of those Sunday night BBC or ITV dramas that tell a story decently, but do not leave you clamouring for more. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 26, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
