Funny,deadpan, brilliant - The Unbelievable Truth review by CP Customer
I accidently caught a Hal Hartley film a few years ago and I now own quite a few on DVD. The films are absolutely great. Paced quite slowly with humour you are not always sure is intended! He is a genius. This was one of the first films that got him a level of recognition. Do yourself a favour and just watch this one. If it is on your wave length you will love his work forever.

I am a Hal Hartley fan - The Unbelievable Truth review by CW
This is early Hal Hartley. Very simple story but you can tell that director had potential. All the actors seemed as though they had fun making the movie. Interesting interview with him on special features. I got The Unbelievable Truth because I thought a later movie of hisThe Book of Life, was astonishing. I like that his movies just sort of drift off without happily ever after or ending with everything tied up.
