Nothing But the Truth

Plays its cards too close to its chest at times, in terms of any emotional connection to its characters – very well performed, with stand-out work from Dillon, Alda and Farmiga, but burying its ultimate resolution for a “twist” shock effect actually denies the film a more dramatic weight that could have been captured if the identity of the source was a known factor for Beckinsale’s decision-making. Still a quietly admirable and compelling study of journalistic (and political) integrity, which has certainly not aged a day circa 2025!
