Critical reception

Truth garnered mixed to negative reviews. At Metacritic, the film scored a 23, based on 4 reviews.

Inkoo Kang of Village Voice wrote "Truth is hammier than Easter brunch, but its depictions of rejection transfiguring into violence are always affecting and distressing."

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter said, "Its Hitchcockian aspirations are sabotaged by a tendency towards lurid melodrama that is more laughable than chilling."

Jay Weissberg of Variety commented: "A low-budget potboiler with an overblown score not loud enough to drown out the hackneyed dialogue."

Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times wrote of the story, "Filled with sappy dialogue and screeching strings, Truth is a puerile excavation of secrets and sickness."
