The Trouble with the Truth is a 2012 American romantic drama film written and directed by Jim Hemphill. Starring John Shea and Lea Thompson as two divorcees meeting after their daughter's (Danielle Harris) engagement, the film follows their conversation over dinner as they reassess their life and relationship. The film has drawn comparison with Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, and Louis Malle's My Dinner with Andre for its minimalist plot, with Roger Ebert noting that "it is a very small movie with very deep feelings".[1] [2]
