| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyFor those of you who miss films made by adults and for adults, films which treat things like sex and loneliness with respect and honesty, "True Things" isn't to be missed. |
| The New York TimesNicolas RapoldWhat makes the film’s episodic approach flow is the pulse-sensitive camerawork. It’s worth singling out, because it is the kind that is often described as “intimate” but rarely pulled off with such Maysles-esque aplomb. |
| Screen DailyFionnuala HalliganAll in all, it’s the strength of vision which impresses — the confidence and the brio of a film-maker adapting a novel and losing herself inside it, making no apologies for her interpretation. |
| The Irish TimesTara BradyFollowing on from Harry Wootliff’s infertility romance, Only You, this confirms the British writer-director as an unmissable talent. |
| The TelegraphTim RobeyBy managing to keep faith with this fast-unravelling person, even in her most bozo moments of losing the plot, Wilson turns in her best and bravest work in films to date. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichWootliff cuts away everything other than the raw nerves that are left exposed, creating a film more elemental than narrative. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakAdapting a book by Deborah Kay Davies, director Harry Wootliff and her co-writer Molly Davies bring True Things to life as a quasi-reaction to Instagram captions generally painting a much sunnier picture than reality could ever prove. |
| Original-CinLiam LaceyAlthough it’s not a life-affirming or audience-flattering parable, the drama feels refreshingly raw and adult. |
| TheWrapFran HoepfnerHarry Wootliff’s True Things is a raw and passionate look at the type of love that can be both all-encompassing and destructive, passionate and dangerous. |
| The Observer (UK)Mark KermodeWith great physical poise and precision, Wilson (who optioned and developed the source book) engages the audience on a visceral level, her deceptively low-key performance taking us deep inside her character’s dreams, desires and insecurities. |
