The Unbelievable Truth Ratings & Reviews
- Desmond DaleJanuary 24, 2025The Unbelievable Truth is one of those rare films that doesn't adhere to adhere conventions, it's not concerned fitting or staying within any one box. It's a character driven film with a very eclectic mix of personalities. Each character kind of embodies a certain philosophy. There's a stoic, an optimist, a pessimistic progressive, etc. Each character has a trait that feels blown up in an interesting way. Rather than being flattened to be static, the characters in the film are kind of warped exaggerations like subjects in a Picasso painting. The film has a rawness to it coupled with a strong vision. It's refreshing to find a film that really nails life in the lower class of society ie common society. It depicts a bunch of good people with numerous flaws dealing with less than ideal situations and just trying to claw their way to fleeting moments of happiness and togetherness.
