CRITICS OF "True Confessions"

Spirituality and Practice

Robert Duvall puts in a top-drawer performance in this crime drama mixing sleuthing and sacraments, crime and confession - one of the best films of 1981.

January 30, 2002

Resource

TIME Magazine

Two exciting, dangerous actors have little to do: Duvall spends too much time pacing and waiting; De Niro's big scene has him hanging up his vestments.

March 07, 2011

Resource

TV Guide

A fascinating film that exposes the dark underside of the Catholic Church and fixes it firmly in the seedy, corrupt world of film noir.

March 07, 2011

Resource

New York Times

Quite simply it's one of the most entertaining, most intelligent and most thoroughly satisfying commercial American films in a very long time.

August 30, 2004

Fantastica Daily

An atmospheric, always-intriguing mystery that works equally well as a perceptive character study. One of the very best films of the 1980s.

October 21, 2005

Old School Reviews

Acting compensates for disappointing ending

February 02, 2007

Chicago Sun-Times

True Confessions contains scenes that are just about as good as scenes can be. Then why does the movie leave us disoriented and disappointed, and why does the ending fail dismally?

October 23, 2004

Resource

Washington Post

Des is another solitary soul, but perhaps he's the most subtle and accessible solitary De Niro has yet embodied -- a man whose isolation draws you closer instead of giving you the willies.

December 18, 2015

Resource

Variety

Given the powerhouse topline casting combo and provocative theme, True Confessions has to be chalked up as something of a disappointment.

March 26, 2009

Resource

Time Out

Numerous vital characters are dropped and the case-solving stripped of its complexity, with the resulting film over-linear and one-dimensional.
