	Author	Review
United States	Jonathan Holland The Hollywood Reporter	"A rewardingly understated, feel-good film about dying (...) It’s Gay’s most emotionally direct work to date, thoroughly shedding the clever-cleverness of some of his earlier work, and also his most accessible"	POS
United States	Oktay Ege Kozak IndieWire	"Thanks to its adult and honest approach to such grim subject matter, as well as the abundant chemistry between the two leads, 'Truman' is still leaps and bounds better than recent American indies that turn a serious issue like cancer into something intolerably whimsical"	POS
United States	Andy Webster The New York Times	"This well-made, low-key drama (...) offers some insights into terminal illness."	POS
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"[A] wise, wistful and well-observed film (...) It speaks, gently yet directly, in a universal language."	POS
United Kingdom	Leslie Felperin The Guardian	"An effective tearjerker, featuring outstanding and nuanced performances (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Lee Marshall Screendaily	"The script explores the issues involved in confronting death with tact, humour and nuance"	POS
