A woman tells her deceased boyfriend's family that she is pregnant.

What's strange is that anyone thought this movie was worth making. It's a thriller with no thrills, almost no action and even less tension. What it does have is a strong cast, but who wants to see good actors going to waste?

There remains some truth in advertising, especially when it comes to Rowan Athale's bizarre family thriller.

Can't quite decide what kind of weird it wants to be: a loopy B-movie corkscrew ride, or an American Beauty-style suburban burlesque with Something To Say.

“Strange But True” is a raw film, with sequences that are difficult to watch, whose correct execution and accomplished photography manage to support a script that is perhaps not as firm as the technical aspects of the proposal...[Full review in Spanish]

If the film sorted out what genre it wanted to belong to, the audience would be less confounded and considerably more engaged.

...whatever flaws audiences could find with the film's tone, the impeccably committed cast keep the film afloat that you'll be too gripped to truly care.

🥺🥴🥲😍😭🤯 7,5 "Sempre me pergunto, se soubéssemos toda verdade, teríamos menos medo ou mais?" Sempre me faço a mesma pergunta e tenho a certeza que se soubéssemos a resposta jamais viveríamos intensamente… Um firme que flerta com o sobrenatural e desemboca no abuso sexual, achei que seria mais um filme leve e fofinho, ganha contornos dramáticos, um simplesinho que entretém, com todas as suas falhas e imperfeições, torna-se cativante pelo plot twist... #film #films #cinema #filme #movie

After 17 minutes we have met a girl who is pregnant by immaculate conception. Everything else moves extremely slowly, just to kill time and reach the predetermined length of an hour and a half. That’s the end of my endurance.

Good pacing, plot twist was revealed early (and predictable)I thought but otherwise I enjoyed the movie

Good actors but the story does not know in which direction to go. Only at the end do you find out and by then it's too late to enjoy it.

This is an unusual film but in a surprisingly good way. The performances were all commendable (not spectacular) but what makes this movie pop is the hard twist that I did not expect or catch on to until a few after that fact - the first act lulled me in pace and plot that when it pivoted, it took me a second to see the real arc of the story.
