(1 - 22) of 22 OFCS Rating: 32% Rotten Page   1   1.5/4 "Canadian filmmakers tend to expose their limitations when they mimic American pop, and Atom Egoyan is no exception"   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers 5/10 "The period production design is captivating, but only serves as a reminder that more important things were going on at the time than the careers of a few lame comics."   Freeze Dried Movies   Brian Juergens 2.5/4 "...never quite becomes much more than a mildly diverting period piece."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C "It was unsatisfying in every way possible, but at least Kevin Bacon manages to give his usual good performance."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz C+ "While it's not without its strengths, it's really just a dime-store mystery novel that has been dressed up with tawdry sex."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "Like watching an episode of Veronica Mars penned by Joe Eszterhas"   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress 2/4 "...misguided and semi-sensationalistic...Truth plays more like a tension-filled tease than it does a scathing commentary on the rigors of fame and its unpredictable frivolity"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C "While superficially engaging, ends up in retrospect seeming a very thin, and surprisingly ramshackle, contrivance."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1.5/5 "A steamy thriller about celebrities misses the mark with its lack of interesting characters."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2/4 "The difference between a good potboiler and a bad one comes down to tone, and Egoyan chooses the wrong approach."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli '1.5/4' "Has a soft-porn hue that sculpts its narrative into a sordid rainbow of slimy emotion."   Aufmuth.com   Jeanne Aufmuth 7/10 "A cool change for Egoyan that doesn’t necessarily work on every level, but one that offers a number of successful elements..."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo "It's hard to tell which negative will alienate audiences more."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 1.5/4 "After his unjustly underrated Ararat it's frustrating to see Egoyan stumble and fall so far."   Slant Magazine   Keith Uhlich C- "Egoyan has made his Showgirls. "   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 7/10 "This may be Egoyan's glossiest film to date, but it is not as compelling as his earlier work"   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "Bacon... and Firth... have such terrific chemistry together that you’ll go, 'You know, they should make a couple goofy retro Rat-Pack-y comedies together...'"   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson C+ "More superficial Rat Pack-ish razzle dazzle than gritty Raymond Chandler-esque whodunit."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 4/5 "Lush and jazzy, this beautifully crafted film tells its twisty noir story without flinching"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 7/10 "Slick, sordid, scandalous showbiz tale of deception and depravity."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 4/5 Read review   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi  (1 - 22) of 22 OFCS Rating: 32% Rotten Page   1
