Most helpful review The Truth

  • Dark, hilarious, engaging and that's the DOUBLE truth, Ruth

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By Tilly from Manchester , 13 Jan 2007

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This wonderful film is a dark comedy, thriller, whodunnit about a weekend group-counselling retreat in a remote mansion in Scotland.

    The facilitator is a hilariously un-P.C.(un-Politically Correct as well as un-Person Centred) American new age

    hippy now turned middle aged and middle class, who has retained her precious spiritual values, but seems to get everything wrong leading to disastrous and frightening consequences. I loved the characters of the group because they are intriguingly messed up and carry such diverse 'baggage'. As in all self-discovery groups, the actions of each individual has a knock-on 'ripple in the pond' effect to all the others and I found myself cringing and laughing out loud as the engaginly, clever plot unfolded. Which way would it go next? Names or similarity to any real people are purely coincidental - but I wonder how many of us will recognise elements of the group members in our friends, family or (more worryingly) ourselves.
