Truth

The film is about the demise of Dan Rather and his 60 minutes producer, after they tackled then-President George W. Bush's Texas National Guard record during the Vietnam era. Starring Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford, it's a fascinating watch IF you're at least 40 years old. (Younger than that and you likely won't care.)

Way better than Spotlight.

In spite of its gut wrenching and the intense frustration it gave me, I love this film for what it does for the TRUTH, though in the end the truth was stifled by the apparatus of political power. And that is the greatest and ultimate truth that it brings to light: that no one cares about the truth any more, and because of it's near total suppression and all the misinformation and disinformation that is forced upon us by the powers that be, true journalism no longer exists. It makes me ashamed of what America has become. And it portends the demise and collapse of civilization.

How does this movie only get 62%? It is great! Look at who all is acting in it, and they nailed it. The screenwriting was good, catching the significance of the moment and how 60 Minutes has never been the same since. So many parallels with the way "Truth" is used and abused in news these days. The stories on all news are picked often to distract you from what you need to be learning about just like Karl Rove and friends got us to focus on the memos instead of the privileges of Bush family and W never really showing up for duty in the National Guard, and "leaving" early. Your attention is held, you feel the emotion of Mary Mapes and others, and learn what has become important in corporate media/news. Relevant to today for sure.

Blanchett did powerful acting here. The plot was somewhat hard to follow but I remember when it happened. "Truth" is aptly named as that is what is reported.

Great acting by great actors. Compelling true story

It's no All the President's Men, but it's an interesting story, which will probably leave you with little faith in the integrity of modern news agencies.

Another well meaning Bush administration film that fails to be anything more than good, because its weak script that fails to provide any insight.

Truth isn’t as good as something like Spotlight want to comes to journalism but overall it’s a decent film that tells a good story. The performances are great especially from Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford. The movie starts off a little slow and does the pacing but the script is strong in the story will keep you interested if you follow politics. Unfortunately though everything is pretty predictable if you know the story.

I watched the movie wanting to hear the truth. It was biased political propaganda.
