Leave your thoughts about The Truth About Charlie.
| New York Magazine/VulturePeter RainerI realize that Mark Wahlberg is not Cary Grant, but shouldn't there be some compensating reason for his presence in this movie? |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanFortunately, the almost tangible romantic mood and the wonderful soundtrack are more than enough to sustain the viewer through [its] mildly lumbering, more densely plotted sections. This is quite clearly one of Hollywood's top releases thus far this year. |
| Filmcritic.comSean O'ConnellDemme's visual experiments ultimately can't disguise the fact that he's working from an overly complex and ultimately illogical script. |
| Dallas Morning NewsPhilip WuntchThe ferociously talented Thandie Newton is responsible for the film's satisfying fullness. Its emptiness is largely due to a wan Mark Wahlberg. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezThe Truth About Charlie might be the greatest valentine to the cinema since Godard's A Woman is a Woman. |
| Baltimore SunMichael SragowA sophisticated thrill. And incandescent Thandie Newton is a worthy successor to Audrey Hepburn in 'Charade.' |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzDemme's film looks very French, and appears as appetizing as a croissant. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookDid we really need a remake of "Charade?" |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovA hyperactive, exuberant, amusing flight of fancy. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeThe Truth About Charlie is the most playful film to come from Demme in a long, long time. It's also the first of his films I've seen that has the personality that once made his work seem so fresh, ever since 1988's Married to the Mob. |
