Based on the story behind the story.

As a renowned producer and close associate of Dan Rather, Mary Mapes believes she’s broken the biggest story of the 2004 election: revelations of a sitting U.S. President’s military service. But when allegations come pouring in, sources change their stories, document authenticity is questioned, and the casualties begin to mount.

David Edelstein · New York Magazine (Vulture) 80.00/100.00

The most engrossing part of Truth is the gradual, grueling retreat from the story, first by its participants and then by the network that broadcast it.

“这条新闻的本意是Bush有没有服完兵役,没人想讨论这一点,大家只想讨论字体、伪造和阴谋论,因为现在的人不喜欢这条新闻,就会钻这些事,大家只会指责和怒骂,质疑你的政治色彩、客观性,还质疑你的基本人性,然后希望真相在角力中遗失。事情终于平息后,大家的叫嚣怒骂吵到我们根本不记得当初的重点。”

John Anderson · Time 80.00/100.00

Debuting director James Vanderbilt (who wrote Zodiac) has a great sense of forward motion and wrings suspense from an idea-driven story.
