Musician Robert (John Shea) is a perpetual starving artist with low overhead and minimal commitments. When Robert’s daughter announces that she’s engaged, he advises her against it - his own marriage to Emily (Lea Thompson) didn’t last, and he doesn’t understand why anyone would want to give up their independence. Yet when Robert and Emily reunite and dredge up old memories and hurts, both discover they have a lot of unresolved issues and that love, marriage and divorce aren’t quite as simple as they’d like. With Danielle Harris and Keri Lynn Pratt.

"Two people revisiting their long-ago marriage over dinner should-in theory-make a better stage play than a movie, but John Shea, Lea Thompson, and writer-director Jim Hemphill defy this beautifully in THE TROUBLE WITH THE TRUTH. There isn’t a false note in either the dialogue or the performances. The characters as written and played have such intricate backstories, such complicated mixtures of motive, that their evening grows uniquely, movingly suspenseful." -The Village Voice

"Not since MY DINNER WITH ANDRE has a film consisting largely of a single conversation been such compelling viewing." -The Hollywood Reporter
