For every missing person, there's a story. Within every story, lies the truth. The Teller and the Truth is the story of Francis Wetherbee, a beautiful, young bank teller who disappeared in 1974 after her car was found submerged in a river. Filmmaker Andrew Shapter (Before the Music Dies, Happiness Is) follows the forty-year-old cold case that sparked the imagination of her hometown of Smithville, Texas, and beyond. Did she drown? Commit suicide? Was she kidnapped? Or is there another answer? Shapter combines a documentary style with a classic narrative interpretation in order to separate myth from truth about Francis. Various theories and conjectures are weighed against the "facts" as they are revealed in old photographs, authentic footage from home movies, and actual Vietnam-era rare (and never before seen) historical footage. As new evidence is discovered, the film transforms into a narrative, as her words-which reveal the truth--come to life. A small-town mystery now becomes a global search for a woman who may still be alive.

| User ReviewJason HBeautifully shot but frustratingly without substance. It's exhausting to watch, as it milks about 10 minutes of story into a commercial like advertisement that lasts for 2 hours. It's ultimately tells a nice sentiment about true love but the lack of real "truth" is too much to bear. I only wish the director would have chosen to either make a film with the actors actually saying dialogue or done a proper documentary where we are left with information but sadly we are left void and annoyed by the lack of anything except for a story that could have been told in minutes and some interesting camerawork. And milk that aspect it does endlessly. |
