Not much of a story to tell. Slow moving. You dont even get to find out the motive for the killings.

True Story is a mystery movie. I liked how this movie kept you watching. If you missed one thing then you wouldn't understand what is happening. The other thing I liked was that you had to keep figuring out whether Christian was lying or…

Great title for this movie which deals with the lies of a criminal and a renown journalist who wants a second chance at his career by writing a book about the crime!

Thought-provoking, but warning: somewhat sad and painful. Discredited reporter who is eager for redemption, sets out to write the tell-all book about the death-row man who (perhaps) murdered his wife and three kids. Wow! One…

2021, Nov. 6 I watched this movie again, not realizing that I had seen it before. I think this is a good movie and it is based on true events. I believe this movie is supposed to make a person think about the truth or what one perceives…

Compelling.

Compelling film, but I was ultimately left unimpressed

This movie was unfortunately dull and way too long. However, it is interesting to try to understand the gray area between "truth" and "perceived truth". Especially because this is based on a true story, I can't help but wonder why Finkel…

Rated 5/10. An extremely average movie.

The library will fix the disc by recoating it, then return it to you, they are excellent....... This movie is a psychological thriller which leaves you guessing, it's great.

This disc is broken. It stops at the 53 minute mark due to cracks

I was really surprised with the "true story" that this film is about. Anyone who liked "Silence of the Lambs" should also watch this movie. I would like to watch "True Story" again.

There wasn't enough material in this story to make a good movie out of it. You can tell that they really had to stretch it out. James Franco and Jonah Hill did a good job, though.

The acting by the two main characters was good. The slow pace built tension that didn't seem to be resolved satisfactorily. It's almost like the maker of the movie was trying to make more of the situation than was there. If you have lots…

This film was based on a true story. A journalist teaches a prisoner how to be a better writer in exchange for his story. Stories are not always true, but what is horrible is that it is true for the journalist and he must live with it.

Very slow paced movie. Could have been shortened to 30 minutes. Nothing special here. There are much better psychological thrillers out there than this one.

James Franco plays a convincing killer and Jonah Hill plays an excellent journalist. The movie is well-written and interesting. The only scene that was overly dramatic was when Felicity Jones went to visit Franco in prison. She came…

Decent true crime dramatization, but definitely not "In Cold Blood". Good acting jobs by Jonah Hill & James Franco. However, not much terror, suspense or surprise to the story.

Not a bad movie, even with James Franco in it. It's not much more than the telling of a "true story", but it is watchable.
