Lisa Marie Bowman70 - It's good but it should have been great.

Bryan Lienesch70 - What starts out as a brick and mortar true crime story devolves into some attempt at an altered realty mental thriller and that's where it will lose people.

Le Anne of Tinsel And Tine52 - James Franco is believable as a charming psychopath, because frankly, Franco is believable as a charming psychopath. But on the whole, as far as psychological dramas where head games are being played between two men -I prefer Ex Machina.

Sober Film Critic James Brown43 - There's an intriguing story to be told about Mike Finkel and Christian Longo here in True Story. In the hands of director Rupert Goold, however, it's just not told.
