Drama Catherine is a star; a star of French cinema. She reigns amongst men who love and admire her: her new partner, her former husband, her agent… When she publishes her memoirs, her daughter Juliette (who has moved to the States to get away from her overbearing mother) returns to France with her husband and young child. The reunion between mother and daughter will quickly turn to confrontation: truths will be told, accounts settled, loves ... [+]

	Media	Author	Review
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A film of high wit and confidence and verve, an astonishingly fluid and accomplished act of boundary-leaping (...) it proves that Kore-eda, in ways we might not have expected, has a dazzlingly exportable talent"
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"It has the playful lightness of touch, the wit and warmth that are an essential part of the Kore-eda signature; it's also an affectionate ode to French cinema itself"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Instantly believable as a wistful and earthy French dramedy, 'The Truth' is lithe and relaxed enough to be mistaken for an Olivier Assayas movie"
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"A fascinating exploration of the fallibility of memory (...) Even working in another language and on another continent, [Kore-eda] once again captures the intricacies of the human condition"
		Xan Brooks The Guardian	"Kore-eda’s tale is warm and soothing, verging on over-cosy. But it contains a hard core of emotional truth, like the pea beneath the mattress that woke up the princess (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Lee Marshall Screendaily	"Una película muy 'europea' con encanto e ingenio que ocasionalmente logra registros muy emotivos y en la que Catherine Deneuve interpreta con brío y entusiasmo su mejor papel desde 'Potiche'."
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"[A] stylish, seductive family drama (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Metro	"Richly textured and subtle, his work is such that you either tune into its wavelength or find it a turn-off. Emotions are sublimated, audience catharsis denied (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Marta Bałaga Cineuropa	"The good news is that 'The Truth' is not, I repeat, not Naomi Kawase’s dreadful foray into another language called 'Vision' (...) A slight affair, if also perfectly pleasant"
