There isn't a mawkish moment to be found, though there are plenty of lovely, humane ones, as well as some that are quite funny. April 20, 2017 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

Poignant without overstepping its bounds, Truman is an enjoyable, if sometimes insubstantial member of the popular disease film subgenre. October 9, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The plot is simple and has one or two missteps towards the end, but the character development is fantastic, as are the two lead performances. April 6, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
