criticism
“Despite two strong leading actresses whose chemistry is right with each other, Roman Polanski's 'Based on a True Story' is not convincing. Neither narrative nor audiovisual, the old master can set new accents on a well-known topic, so that the end result lacks passion. "
“The staging keeps the plot deliberately diffuse and lets both tension and genre conventions run into the void. The result is a more conventional story about the boundaries between narrative and reality. "
