Christina Newland iNews.co.uk Ends up feeling more like a treatise on toxic boyfriends than the free-floating exploration of forbidden sexuality that it had first promised. Rated: 3/5 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Without the two leads, “True Things” doesn’t offer much. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 14, 2022 Full Review David Stratton The Australian I can imagine that this cautionary tale will have its supporters, but I found Kate such an infuriating character that it was extremely difficult to sympathise with her. Rated: 2/5 Sep 12, 2022 Full Review Daniel Allen Loud and Clear Reviews Tom Burke and a superb Ruth Wilson star in True Things, Harry Wootliff’s British drama about a tender (then toxic) romance that is visually interesting but gradually peters out. Rated: 3/5 Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Greg Hyde Under the Radar True Things is a compelling psychological drama anchored by a strong performance from Tom Burke. Rated: 7.5/10 Oct 28, 2022 Full Review Liam Lacey Original Cin A refreshingly adult drama about infatuation and self-sabotage, True Thing leaves a strong impression, despite a disappointing ending. Rated: B+ Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Luz V Amazing movie, Tom burke is incredible. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Stephen A I found this mysterious film very engaging and was left thrilled by the final, satisfying climax. It was an extremely worthwhile subject to deal with and approached it with passion, honesty and sincerity. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Los G Great performance by Wilson, horrible miscasting of Burke and the sort of film that makes you go, ok . . . . so what? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review Ken S Great directing, really engaging filming and excellent performances from the lead actors. I thought this was a brilliant examination of someone on a downward spiral of loneliness and misplaced hope before finally finding themselves. I thought it was a particularly powerful performance from Ruth Wilson, she seems to have completely immersed herself in Kate's character - top notch! I totally agree with the critics score and really don't get why the audience score is so way off that?! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review A K One word perfectly describes this movie - BORING Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Ok, I'm not usually this way, but the end saved it for me. I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. This was a frustrating and mind boggling watch at times, but I hung I'm there and completed the movie. I wouldn't recommend to non-hard core movie folks. I streamed it, and it's definitely not worth a theater watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/24/22 Full Review Read all reviews
