I Know This Much Is True

An epic six episode long epos about a cursed family, family stigmata and about lives which you would not be able to come up with just like that, not even after someone would put salt into your bleeding wounds. I’m not surprised that the book on which this series is based upon is a bestseller because if anyone really went through this in their life, they must be at least a saint in their next ones. And when someone takes such a tragedy into his hands and with his typical quality and respect makes it into a series, there is no other way for me to rate it than with full rating. Moreover Mark Ruffallo portrays his double-role perfectly. As well as those boys who portray the same brothers in their youth. Well, let me tell you premises such as this don’t grow on tree. Considering family dramas, I Know This Much Is True is the best I’ve ever seen. Another great HBO production. (03/09/2020)

Une minisérie avare en joie et en optimisme qui plombe le spectateur dès les premières minutes et ce, de façon souvent affligeante. Cependant, les auteurs ont une justification à cela et on ne peut donc pas leur en vouloir. C'est que, malheureusement, il arrive que quelqu'un tire le mauvais numéro et qu'il n'ait aucune chance de gagner, peu importe les efforts qu'il déploie. Mark Ruffalo offre une performance formidable, peut-être la meilleure de sa carrière. Je crois que ce double rôle a dû l'épuiser totalement sur le plan mental. Un Golden Globe bien mérité.
