Variety

Given the powerhouse topline casting combo and provocative theme, True Confessions has to be chalked up as something of a disappointment.

TV Guide

A fascinating film that exposes the dark underside of the Catholic Church and fixes it firmly in the seedy, corrupt world of film noir.

TIME Magazine

Two exciting, dangerous actors have little to do: Duvall spends too much time pacing and waiting; De Niro's big scene has him hanging up his vestments.

Robert Duvall puts in a top-drawer performance in this crime drama mixing sleuthing and sacraments, crime and confession - one of the best films of 1981.

New York Times

Quite simply it's one of the most entertaining, most intelligent and most thoroughly satisfying commercial American films in a very long time.

Fantastica Daily

An atmospheric, always-intriguing mystery that works equally well as a perceptive character study. One of the very best films of the 1980s.

Washington Post

Des is another solitary soul, but perhaps he's the most subtle and accessible solitary De Niro has yet embodied -- a man whose isolation draws you closer instead of giving you the willies.
