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.

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.

To be clear, 'Truth & Treason’ is exactly the movie it wants to be. It’s just that what it wants to be isn’t all that interesting.

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

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.

Albeit heavy-handed, Truth & Treason is a stirring reminder of the cost of conscience.

This was an emotional movie from start to finish. It certainly gives new perspectives on just how many people were affected.
