True Story is an intriguing blend of crime and drama, directed by Rupert Goold. It explores the unsettling relationship between Michael Finkel, a journalist whose life is upended when he encounters Christian Longo, a murderer who stole his identity. The film has this tight, almost claustrophobic atmosphere, reflecting the psychological tension between the two men. Pacing feels deliberate, giving you time to digest the moral ambiguities at play. The performances, especially by Jonah Hill and James Franco, are striking; they really bring out the complexities of trust and deception. There's a rawness to how the story unfolds, with minimal reliance on flashy effects, allowing the weight of the narrative to sit heavy on the viewer. It's definitely a solid pick for those who appreciate character-driven stories.
