“Truth & Treason” is a staid drama whose observations about Helmuth could easily be summed up in a quick encyclopedic blurb.

Both a recent tragedy and a tale as old as time.

Dickinson proves himself an excellent director right from the beginning.

Entertains enough to pass the time, but certainly doesn’t thrill.

An honest, real movie about people living big lives during tumultuous times.

While it’s light on the actual baseball, it doesn’t forget the fans.

It’s kitsch but a delightfully surprising throwback, and a welcome reminder that in times of need, we still have art for escape.

The film is as aching as it is diverse and defiant in reflecting its subjects. 

The acting often outshines the merely competent direction, editing, and melodramatic writing.

A surprisingly beautiful and subtle tribute to the balancing act it takes to be a working artist.
