Depressing tale of modern everyday folk! - True Things review by NR
The two leads are wasted in this drama,although they give it their best shot!
It's a bleak depiction of how meaningless modern life can be,and indeed with a dollop of "anti-man" claptrap thrown in for good measure.

Depressing - True Things review by Crocodileroc
I won’t get those 2 hours of my life back. The message it was delivering passed me by. It seemed to be a message for women to be more assertive, respect themselves and success in life is possible without being beholding to men.

Well Acted Romantic Drama - True Things review by GI
A romantic drama that is full of eroticism, strong on character and weaker on plot with an unfulfilling and unconvincing conclusion. Ruth Wilson is excellent as Kate, a lowly benefits office worker in a seaside town. She's bored with the work, a bit of a loner and arguably depressed until one of her claimants asks her out for lunch. He is a charismatic ex con she names Blond played with obvious relish by Tom Burke. Against the office rules she goes out with him and is soon infatuated but he remains a mystery telling her nothing much about himself whilst she reveals all. Soon he begins to treat her very casually but then reappears and expects her to drop everything. It takes a trip to Spain for Kate to realise what she really needs from her life. The two leads give compelling performances and Wilson especially captures the central issue of a deep yearning for love that never quite arrives. It's an interesting film but ultimately feels like a bit of a let down in the finale.
