You can't handle the truth. Or can you?
     Director Lucy Tcherniak's The Truth About Stanley is an intentionally disjointed, intensely sad 20-minute PSA/film that tells the story of Sam, a boy fleeing abuse at home, and Stanley, an elderly Congolese man with a vivid imagination, both living on the streets of central London. The film is subtle, challenging and surprising in all the ways that great art-house movies should be. Some viewers might be put off by the time-hopping narrative and relatively few revelations about the principal characters.
