be taken to another world

To watch this film is to be taken to another world. It is Truth or Consequences in the future, or maybe the past, or maybe just a dimension where there is space to appreciate individual lives, time to listen without agenda, and a desire to find each other where we're at. This film, like the portraits it paints of ToRC residents, exudes wonder, passion, integrity, and an unapologetic dedication to living life on one's own terms.

A good place to contemplate

What a timetraveling, shapeshifting story... At once a love letter to an overlooked town and a conversation about what could be, what is and what was. I'm so excited people are making movies like this and getting at "the truth" from different angles. Yvonne is unforgettable.

A doc that pushes the form

Truth or Consequences is an unflinching look into the lives of individuals who don't often get to be in front of the camera. It records stories with honesty and dignity. The film itself also take chances with form, weaving new, computational photography techniques with a classic, cinema verite backbone. You've never seen anything like this. The movie will challenge you and challenge docs in general. Recommended!

Mocumentary or horrid proportions... skip this one!

This is a work of fiction written and filmed in the form of a documentary but it fails as both.

I took the bullet... heed my warning. Save your time and skip this one.

Captures something special

A time after the past that never was and before the future that may never come to be. This film is a sensitive portrait of that strange place that is the present moment, where we all live even though we dream of other times and spaces. A difficult thing to capture in a documentary, but very well done in this film.
