Reviews for It's All True
It's an amazing film for how it shows the Hollywood studio system couldn't tolerate creative artists.

The late Welles obviously had nothing to do with this new project. But you can feel his ambitious, quixotic intentions lurking in there somewhere.

Top Critic...the film at once seems like a visually dynamic conflation of a Robert Flaherty film and a proto-neorealist fable comprised of photogenic locals and working class heroics.

It’s All True is an essential piece in the Welles puzzle.

What little there was (some Rio carnival footage, scenes from the fishing story Four Men on a Raft) looked stunning. In this documentary, happily, there's much more to show.

If only a documentary like this one existed for every unfinished Welles film.

Welles had intended to narrate the section himself, but the writers and directors of this documentary have wisely opted not to second-guess Welles, simply presenting the material as it stands and adding music and sound effects.

Top CriticIs this really a 'lost masterpiece'? I doubt it, but it's still and important missing piece of Welles' filmography.
06/08/05
Even in its redundancy, it is nevertheless fascinating.

Because Welles is arguably the most magnetic and mercurial of all American directors, the film would be interesting on any grounds, but it is also impressive because of the long raft sequence, shown here in an essentially complete state.

Top CriticThis documentary is a long, seductive footnote to a cinema legend.
05/20/03
It's definitely all true, but it's not all that interesting.

A short, rather unsatisfying film about Welles's misadventures in Latin America at the start of World War II.
