true

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2007)

If you are interested in truth, you will love this film. Every note it strikes, is true. The characters have depth, but this depth comes from their mere existence. It is not contrived by the heaviness of a script. Watch their eyes. Watch how they move in the streets. Watch how they deal with their emotions, not as actors do, but as humans do.
The music is not the genre I would normally be attracted to, but to see it created on the screen by two people in the process of getting to know one another, on a visceral level as well as a musical level, digs into your heart. The ending, where the Girl sits at her piano and looks out the window as the camera slowly pulls back, is so poignant it left me bereft.
