En vérité

"Truth" is one of those movies where you ask yourself: "who green-lighted this thing???" It is a gay-themed psychological thriller, and the script itself is actually pretty good. The dialogue is creepy, and at times actually more disturbing than the action around it. But the acting (and I use the term loosely), the "made for TV" style cinematography and campy music just don't match dark subject matter this film is supposed to evoke. I was wondering why there were so many shots of the main character (including full-frontal), and when I checked IMDb...surprise! (actually, not really) it turns out he is a gay porn actor. This and the fact that both characters are often wearing Andrew Christiansen underwear pretty much answer how this film came to be. The ending is probably the worst part of the film, and is both a drastic departure from the tone of the beginning of the film and sloppy way to resolve the entire situation. Sadly, what could have been an interesting premise was poorly executed and is basically just a warning to aspiring actors: don't do gay porn!

Again, people with Borderline Personality Disorder are portrayed as psychopaths. Borderline Personality Disorder is a form of PTSD and an insidious damaging condition. People with this condition hurt a great deal, and it is always because of parental emotional and verbal abuse, blaming the child for their parents problems and mistakes, often physical violence in the home, and at times sexual abuse. Self esteem is low because they were raised in chaotic, unstable families and were not given the unconditional love children need from their parents to develop self esteem and the ability to have healthy relationships with others. Their feelings were continually invalidated. It's a shame this movie just adds to the stigmatization, and Rob Moretti should be ashamed of not only his bad acting, but for making this bad, stigmatizing film. Twice as bad because the character with the condition was gay. Even the medication given to help people with this condition is stigmatized. Just an all around awful film.

A relation from beginning to its last consequences. The effort to impress and the try to explore inner demons , maybe forced in few moments , maybe giving to story strong aspect of emotional montagne russe, but having the virtue to enter in crumbs of many details giving roots to frustrations, vulnerability, angry and hard need of other , with terrible consequences. A beautiful film , not great, not original, beautiful more for acting than for story itself. Chronicle of a relation, brutal in few scenes, profound unrealistic in others it is just a decent film, for for the try of a sort of exorcism than for the story itself.

The story was simple, yet the acting from the main cast was so bad, I could not watch the movie with a straight face. Every actor delivered their lines like bad community theater actors, and had no tact, talent or ability when it came to injecting feeling and nuance into their performances. This alone was enough to ruin the film, but then you have that God awful soundtrack, with "singers" and music that gave the impression that they were recorded in a bathroom studio. The vocals were awful, the melodies were awful; it was just extremely poorly done.

Look, I get it; some people do not have the budget to create a film with real actors and instead choose friends and family to fill the roles. But, really, if you are going to attach your name to something, wouldn't you want it to be of quality? Overall, this is quite possibly one of the worst LGBT films I have ever seen, and really, towards the bottom of any film I have seen in any genre. Do yourself a favor and avoid this film. It has no redeemable qualities to warrant even a disinterested viewing.

It's refreshing to see a film that isn't predictable. I had no idea what would happen in the second half and was quite surprised. I typically don't like flashback type films, but it worked with this one. I thought these guys' relationship could work, despite emotional problems until more was revealed. This isn't something I'd see twice, but it was good the first time around. I admit I wasn't completely satisfied with the ending, but it is possible the writer wanted to leave something for the viewers to decide for themselves. I enjoyed the suspense and not knowing what was going to happen.
