   Is 'true story' a good movie?

   • The real story of Christian Longo and Michael Finkel might be a fascinating and disturbing tale of crime, curiosity and journalistic ethics, but that’s not what this movie is. “True Story” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). A horrible crime and its aftermath, more implied than shown.

   Is 'true story' a true story?

   • Still, “True Story” is a tightly made slice of true crime that treads the line between fact and fiction that has so bedeviled storytellers, and asserts that perhaps reality lies somewhere outside of that, and is still only what you make of it. [B+] This is a reprint of our review from the 2015 Sundance Film Festival.

   Could true story have been a comedy?

   • What's interesting about True Story is that Hill and Franco are playing the archetypes that you'd expect from them, and because of this, the movie could have easily worked as a comedy. It was Hill and Franco doing what you seen them do a million times in comedies but doing it in a drama piece.
