SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

hddu10 "Truth" is one of those movies where you ask yourself: "who green-lighted this thing???" It is a gay-themed psychological thriller, and the script itself is actually pretty good. The dialogue is creepy, and at times actually more disturbing than the action around it. But the acting (and I use the term loosely), the "made for TV" style cinematography and campy music just don't match dark subject matter this film is supposed to evoke. I was wondering why there were so many shots of the main character (including full-frontal), and when I checked IMDb...surprise! (actually, not really) it turns out he is a gay porn actor. This and the fact that both characters are often wearing Andrew Christiansen underwear pretty much answer how this film came to be. The ending is probably the worst part of the film, and is both a drastic departure from the tone of the beginning of the film and sloppy way to resolve the entire situation. Sadly, what could have been an interesting premise was poorly executed and is basically just a warning to aspiring actors: don't do gay porn!

manuelasaez The story was simple, yet the acting from the main cast was so bad, I could not watch the movie with a straight face. Every actor delivered their lines like bad community theater actors, and had no tact, talent or ability when it came to injecting feeling and nuance into their performances. This alone was enough to ruin the film, but then you have that God awful soundtrack, with "singers" and music that gave the impression that they were recorded in a bathroom studio. The vocals were awful, the melodies were awful; it was just extremely poorly done.Look, I get it; some people do not have the budget to create a film with real actors and instead choose friends and family to fill the roles. But, really, if you are going to attach your name to something, wouldn't you want it to be of quality? Overall, this is quite possibly one of the worst LGBT films I have ever seen, and really, towards the bottom of any film I have seen in any genre. Do yourself a favor and avoid this film. It has no redeemable qualities to warrant even a disinterested viewing.

Suradit Quite honestly I'm not sure what to think of it all. A "suspenseful, psychological thriller," it was not. One of the two central characters, Caleb, has enough personal baggage to sink a ship although at least outwardly he seems to be coping with it all reasonably well at the start of the story. He meets Jeremy whose background has been less of a train wreck than Caleb's but he's not dealing especially well with the pressures that society and family put on gay men of his age. Through experience Jeremy has learned to use deception and denial in dealing with other people and with his perception of self. That this does not lead to a "they lived happily ever after ending" is not particularly surprising.In the "storyline" description it states that Truth "exposes the hidden demons buried deep inside each and every one of us." Whoa. We may all have our secrets and have had experiences that affect the way we deal with others, but I doubt most of us are as burdened as Caleb nor do most of us resort to such manifest deception as does Jeremy. The damage caused by a "Mommy dearest" and the need to remain "closeted" for survival are fairly common themes in gay drama, but this movie tries too desperately to pile it on and thrill us with the resultant mayhem.It all just seemed a bit too much. From the start the relationship between Caleb and Jeremy seemed more weird than genuine and as it began to unravel the situations weren't particularly suspenseful or psychologically deep. The actors, especially Sean Paul Lockhart, were good. The overall quality of the production was also quite good. The general result, however, seemed superficial, heavy-handed, inevitable & propelled by contrived events.

guil fisher This was an amazing film to watch. So many unexpected things happen turning this movie into a major dramatic ending. No, I won't reveal it.Direction was wonderfully simple about two men from their first meeting to the ultimate ending. Their relationship, as it develops, changes them both.Rob Moretti did a triple job with this by playing the lead, writing and directing the film. I assume he also did the editing. A truly difficult job doing any of these jobs. He accomplished them all by bringing us a thoroughly suspenseful and professional movie that really keeps your interest all the way through.Playing the other lead is Sean Paul Lockhart, ala Brent Corrigan from erotic films, in his first starring "straight" film. Congratulations Sean you have made the big jump doing a super job with a very difficult role. There's no mistaking his good looks. There is a sex scene, done with taste, that shows just how good he was. But it is the story we watch unfold. Watch these two actors bring the ring of "truth" from their performances to life.
