As someone who has sat through a lot of ‘Gone Girl’-lite films, ‘Strange but True’ is far from the bottom of the barrel; it sits perfectly in the middle. While the film loses itself in its narrative, the cast is definitely great, and it's worth checking out even just for the wild third act. - Chris dos Santos Read Chris' full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-strange-but-true-all-star-cast-saves-thriller-from-being-a-total-misfire
