True Things reviewed by Mark Kermode 

Its especially more upsetting when at the end of other videos he says they will be doing this show forever ever ever ever

They are going to keep doing it - they’re just moving from the BBC to their own podcast.

If they do leave, at least we have decades worth of archives to get us by.

They just announced on Twitter that they're starting a podcast together!

@@lapislazuli5035 i dunno I've been going through them thick and fast im already like 13yrs back!!! Great news on podcast I assumed that's what would happen i couldn't see anything breaking up this bromance 😀

Agreed about the puzzling nature of the Spain sequence. I think, that after she gets the keys back to her car and drives to the roof of a carpark, - she actually does jump off and commit suicide (the brief mention of vertigo at the start of the film, being compelled to jump off high places, is quite significant). The rest of the film I think is her dreaming as to what she wanted to actually happen (vertigo)... her independence from her family, her managing to walk away from Blond, - and all of which she felt trapped by - but none of which she was able to do. (It would be interesting to see a comparison with Hitchcock's 'Vertigo' where 'True Things' is almost seen instead from the perspective of Kim Novak).

The shift is real for me. Kate has more than self esteem issues & these sort of problems can ebb and flow from being moderately disruptive to normal life (eg. not performing at work) to the crisis point she reaches, losing track of days etc. For me the Spain trip plays in to her desire for travel & adventure, she goes for that reason. He had previously over stepped the mark in the pub & showed his colours, Kate bounced back & used him. When he proposes she see's it for what it is (he admitted that he tells her what she wants to hear within the soulmate scene) and the viewer gets the satisfaction of seeing her assert herself. The character moves on, takes the positives (she's beautiful, desirable & assertive/ decisive etc) in to the future. We wanted a positive outcome not a splodge beneath the carpark didn't we ?

@@robbieflub interesting point but that only 'works' in a shorter period of time, not to her overall personal development. For someone who was portrayed as deeply damaged, aimless and with no compass in life; I'd have thought it would take more than a 'liberating' dance in a Spanish club to move on to a higher level of self awareness. On the other hand though, maybe I'm asking too much from what's possible to convey in a feature film (easier in drama series over many episodes)

@@bltr2507 Yes, I think you are right, she has a lot of work to do to resolve a lot of stuff but the film takes us to a point in time & not beyond. For me, The writer wants her character to hit back & hints that she has the resources to develop.

She knows that Blonde is not really boyfriend material but a player aka dog, maybe. She just liked the excitement he brought into her life

It doesn't,she has his address and she google maps him to see where he lives and she asks him about relationship status in the interview so there you go,you missed those two details..

@@upendasana7857 I've based my comments on the review as i haven't been able to see the film yet. In this regard Kermode has been misleading in his review then

He acts mysterious and vague, so I guess that’s what the reviewer is talking about, but she does actually know his name, address, etc. I believe we see from a glimpse at her computer screen that his name is Sam, but she chooses to just list him in her phone as “Blond.” In that way, I think his mysteriousness is at least partially the way she chooses to see him - i.e., she wants a fantasy rather than seeing him as a real person.

He did. It’s on the podcast.
