3/5

In short, this is a flawed film, but it feels like its heart is in the right place, and any anti-fascist message is welcome and timely in these dark times.

A sobering, well-made drama that is well worth seeing...

Matthew Whitaker’s film never surprises at any point during its running time, failing to add any singular artistic flair. While telling a compelling story, it plays like so many other films about that dark time in not-so-distant European history.

79/100

Truth and Treason oddly hits harder today with its themes, but is also surprisingly more than competent coming from Angel Studios.

While critics derided it as conventional, for first time filmmakers to choose this subject matter at a time like this shows courage.

5/10

The crafts are admirable, and the performances are durable, but the importance of this real-life tale doesn’t quite match the intensity showcased within this film.
