Part documentary and part concert film, This Much I Know to Be True is a portrait of the creative relationship between musicians Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. The duo play songs from Cave's most recent studio albums, Ghosteen and Carnage, and provide an inside look into their musical partnership.
This Much I Know to Be True mostly offers the simple pleasures of good songwriting, performed by charismatic singers, captured elegantly onscreen. And that’s not nothing! However, come the one-hour mark, Dominik does work in more interview footage, revealing a film in many ways structured as a response to its predecessor.

Perhaps more than anything, the doc celebrates the remarkable creative union between Cave and his chief collaborator and bandmate Warren Ellis.

Those who have seen "One More Time With Feeling" will undoubtedly have a deeper appreciation for this follow-up companion piece, but — even for the ones unfamiliar with either Dominik’s or Cave’s work— This Much I Know To Be True still proves powerful even if consumed as a concert film alone.
It’s simply executed but undeniably powerful in its lean, stripped back elegance.
A faded television actor and his stunt double strive to achieve fame in the final years of Hollywood's Golden Age.
A failed stand-up comedian is driven insane, turning to a life of crime in chaos in Gotham City.
A poor family lies and schemes their way into the employ of a wealthy household — successfully, but with great consequences.
