The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A slow movie lacking the element of suspense. The script is not smartly written. As a person who loves these kind of movies, and watches them all the time, the ending was not a surprise for me. It was 'meh'PS. I couldn't recognize Renee Zellweger for the first 20 mins of the movie. She looks different!

The story is completely idiotic and absurd. It is a film made only to keep you attention. No intelligence.

Mike Lester (Garbriel Basso) is on trial for murder, found kneeling over the victim, prints on the weapon and confesses to the crime. Ramsey (Keanu Reeves) is a close friend of the family and his attorney who is trying to get Mike off, Mike who is not speaking. Mike's abusive father (Jim Belushi) was the victim. The only other person in the house was Mike's abused mother Loretta (Renee Zelleger) who was in the shower and Ramsey shows up rather quickly.The film is a courtroom drama with flashbacks. It isn't hard to figure out all the twists. With Mike being much for mute of the film, there was a real lack of drama or urgency as Mike was content to go down with the crime.Early in the film a woman enters a limo who looks like Britney while a Britney Spears riff is being played. BTW it does take place in Louisiana.Guide: F-word. Abuse. Wife rape

The Whole Truth: courtroom drama with Keanu Reeves starring as a lawyer trying to defend a young man who allegedly killed his father but refuses to speak.It has a pretty interesting script. The plot twist, somewhat predictable near the end, is just almost good enough to offset the monotonous first half of the movie. Keanu's wooden expression actually worked. Rene Zellweger looks so sullen... but then we get a reminder of why she won an Oscar many years ago. All-in-all the premise of the movie is interesting and the tidbits of facts thrown in between the court scenes reveals just enough at the right time.It's a passable lawyer movie, if you can get past the talking-heads first half of the movie. After three consecutive witnesses were put on stand, I heard some snoring in the theatre 😆
