There he's hired as a mechanic by Vic Hugo (Christopher Cooke), the owner of a local garage.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Hartley's debut deserves heralding; he combines a rigorous social conscience with the exuberance of fresh comic thinking. "
-
"What makes the film fun is the deadpan, tongue-in-cheek humor that undermines the seemingly sincere dramatic scenes"
-
"Mr. Hartley and his director of photography, Michael Spiller, have made a film that is visually and verbally much richer than its low budget"
-
"'The Unbelievable Truth' is a promising, reasonably engaging first feature of the art school film variety. Very consciously designed and stylized in all departments"
