The film premiered at Worldfest Houston International Film Festival on April 11, 1996 to mixed reviews.[1]

Plot edit
John Savage stars as Dr. Ian Lazarre, a deeply troubled psychotherapist who tumbles into a deep depression of drinking and despair after learning his wife Wendy dies into an auto accident. His second wife and his best friend have him committed to the Blackhurst Institute, a rehab clinic operated by Dr. Vernon Renquist (Malcolm McDowell) and the equally enigmatic Nurse Chambers (Kim Cattrall).

Reviews edit
Reviews have been overall dismissive with only a few exceptions. The percentage of users who rated it 3.5 stars or higher was only twenty percent out of 500 plus ratings. The average rating on Rotten Tomatoes was 2.9 out of 5.[4] The weighed average rating on IMBd was 4.1 out of 10.[5]
"Director William H. Molina, who also served as cinematographer and editor, develops a suitably spooky atmosphere. Savage is Angry and anguished in just the right measures, while McDowell and Cattrall have some sly fun with the ambiguities of their character. Other performances are as good as they have to be. William Molina's moody cinematography is pic's strongest tech credit."[6] Variety Film Review
"John Savage heads a cast of direct-to-video regulars in a muddled psychological thriller that doubtless will open soon at a Blockbuster near you... "Where Truth Lies" is long on spooky atmosphere, but short on narrative logic."[1] Joe Leydon
VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever gives the film two bones out of four (May be perfectly delightful for certain tastes. A waste of time for others).[7]
