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.

Variety

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.

Rated: 2/4

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

The Movie Cricket

It’s clear [director Matt] Whitaker has more on his mind than a totalitarian regime that’s been gone for 80 years. The question is whether the movie’s target audience will make the connection to current events.

Rated: 3/4
