Like its hyperbolic title, The Unbelievable Truth dares you to guess at the sincerity behind its melodrama. Josh Hutton returns to his hometown in Long Island dressed all in black and wreathed in foreboding. As he becomes involved with Audry, daughter of the local auto repair man, rumours begin to circulate about the hidden and possibly hard-to-credit truth about his past. Hal Hartley’s drama shrewdly picks apart both middle-class sensibilities and filmic clichés.
