Alan Scherstuhl reviewed The Whole Truth for the VIllage Voice. It was a fairly positive review. Mr. Scherstuhl ended with the following:
The movie’s being dumped by Lions Gate on demand and into a handful of theaters, but it’s much more involving than most of this year’s studio dramas, and certainly smarter and more involving than The Girl on the Train or The Accountant.
Note: In the title of the piece, the reviewer said that the film deserved better than it’s On Demate fate. I agree with that.
