Synopsis
Spoiler shield
Fabienne is a star; a star of French cinema. She reigns amongst men who love and admire her. When she publishes her memoirs, her daughter Lumir returns from New York to Paris with her husband and young child. The reunion between mother and daughter will quickly turn to confrontation: truths will be told, accounts settled, loves and resentments confessed.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”

What people are saying
- SWITCH.★ 5/10
‘The Truth’ has a number of interesting ideas that lend themselves favourably to this film’s rewatchability, but it's such a bland affair that I cannot understand why one would want to watch it again. I felt as if I was forgetting it as I watched it. - Ashley Teresa Read Ashley's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-the-truth-a-well-intentioned-trip-down-a-well-worn-path
