The Whole Truth's reviews
Media reviews
The Wrap
"'The Whole Truth' stands out within its evergreen genre for the largely unsensational manner in which it?s presented. Hunt follows actual courtroom procedures more closely than most similar movies [...] which makes the eventual revelations feel earned."
Roger Ebert
?The Whole Truth? is filled with lines out of the Grisham playbook and your enjoyment may come down to how much you?re willing to forgive for the sake of a legal mystery. There?s a whole genre of mass-market paperbacks?I used to call them ?airport books?[...]. The script for ?The Whole Truth? is an ?airport book,? although it contains even less sizzle and grit than most of those. It's by-the-numbers.
The Hollywood Reporter
" As the movie deconstructs such core aspects of the system as jury selection and attorneys? theatrical maneuvers the effect is one of academic interest, not gripping storytelling."
Cine Premiere
"It is easy to guess where the story is going to, an ingenious class about what should not be made to create suspense."
