INTERNATIONAL PRESS REVIEWS
A moving and painfully true portrait of being a teenager and trying to make the right friends, "Truth or Dare" is a perfect film for its target audience, girls in their early teens and their parents. Pic realistically depicts the intrigue that is common at schools of both sexes. Young actors are talented and convincing.
It's certainly the most accomplished film to date by Christina Olofson. Film does not fall into trap of caricaturing the parents. Subject matter is universal.
