Leave your thoughts about True Confessions.
| Time OutGeoff AndrewNumerous vital characters are dropped and the case-solving stripped of its complexity, with the resulting film over-linear and one-dimensional. |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyMarvelously well-acted...Quite simply it's one of the most entertaining, most intelligent and most thoroughly satisfying commercial American films in a very long time. |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldDes is another solitary soul, but perhaps he's the most subtle and accessible solitary De Niro has yet embodied -- a man whose isolation draws you closer instead of giving you the willies. |
| NewsweekJack KrollBetween the splendid cast and the unsavoriness of the period details, True Confessions generates so much absorbing human interest and persuasive texture that the miscalculated plot seems a minor letdown. |
| Washington PostJudith MartinTrue Confessions contains scenes that are just about as good as scenes can be. Then why does the movie leave us disoriented and disappointed, and why does the ending fail dismally? Perhaps because the attentions of the filmmakers were concentrated so fiercely on individual moments that nobody ever stood back to ask what the story was about. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertTrue Confessions contains scenes that are just about as good as scenes can be. Then why does the movie leave us disoriented and disappointed, and why does the ending fail dismally? |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatRobert Duvall puts in a top-drawer performance in this crime drama mixing sleuthing and sacraments, crime and confession - one of the best films of 1981. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThe film looks like an attempt to make a Martin Scorsese movie without Martin Scorsese. |
| VarietyVariety StaffGiven the powerhouse topline casting combo and provocative theme, True Confessions has to be chalked up as something of a disappointment. |
| Entertainment WeeklyNeil DrummingWhile True Confessions boasts big themes (redemption, reconciliation) and big names, the plot and performances are painfully subtle. It proffers too many details and not enough payoff. |
