Description

Legends of French cinema Catherine Deneuve and Juliette Binoche join masterful filmmaker Hirokazu Koreeda (Shoplifters, Still Walking) to paint a moving portrait of family dynamics in THE TRUTH. Fabienne (Catherine Deneuve) is an aging French movie star who, despite her momentary lapses in memory, remains a venerable force to be reckoned with. Upon the publication of her memoirs, her daughter Lumir (Juliette Binoche) returns to Paris from New York with her husband (Ethan Hawke) and their young daughter to commemorate its release. A sharp and funny battle of wits ensues between the mother-daughter duo, as Lumir takes issue with Fabienne's rose-colored version of the past. Reflected cleverly by Fabienne's latest role in a sci-fi drama, their strained relationship takes a poignant journey toward possible reconciliation. Charming, bold, and imbued with endless emotional insight, THE TRUTH offers a relatable look at human relationships, featuring exquisite performances from its all-star cast.

    Not a bad movie. These people giving it one star are really reviewing their ability to choose what movies they are going to like . I liked the plot device of the movie within a movie, would to see that movie too.
  • Ugh, after 30 min wondered why I rented it

    I didn't believe anyone after 15 min and it didn't get better from there. No one to root for, no believeable situations and confusing number of characters. And I love all three of the leads.
  • Great preview, horrible movie. Don’t fall for it.

    I tried so hard to like this movie but there was nothing to like. Depressing characters, depressing filming, depressing script, they even made France depressing.

    binoche & hawke are the perfect on screen pairing. when coupled with denueve’s talent, this film about actors, lies, and family really hits home. worth watching more than once before making a judgment on this quality cinema.
  • Total waste

    Catherine Deneuve and Juliette Binoche onscreen together are magnifique! A beautiful exploration of a mother-daughter relationship.
  • Vivre La Binoche!

    Beautiful portrait of a family by a magnificent cast, and watching it as close to a Parisian escape as we can get right now. So glad it’s finally come out.

    Just rewatch Shoplifters and skip this. Goes nowhere and says nothing.
