Abbie is in a panic. She's about to throw a housewarming party with her husband Matt, and her hair is a disaster. With Abbie's timeline falling behind because of her beauty mishap, her friends begin streaming in, starting with Benji, who secretly nurses a long-running crush on Abbie. With Matt missing in action -- who's off in a bar with a beautiful woman -- Benji is more than happy to help Abbie out, especially as more guests arrive.
The gaggle of guests is a mixed affair, ranging from Abbie's boss to her friend Vera, who brings her surly teen daughter Roni along. But when Matt's troublemaker friend Jimmy arrives in his flashy sports car, all bets are off for a civilized affair.
Directed by Vika Evdokimenko and written by Oliver Shuster, this nimble, sharp-witted short comedy takes the time-honored narrative device of a social gathering to bring together a fascinating pell-mell of personalities, each with different secrets, pasts, motives and desires. Then it adds a rogue element to the mix, shaking everything up and creating a level of mayhem that tears off the veneer of civility to reveal the roiling truths of everyone around.
With such a large group, the clever, fast-paced storytelling quickly lays out the cast of characters, starting with the harried wife worried her husband is having an affair and the meek, quiet friend in love with her. There's a brassy, ballsy single mom and her annoyed daughter, a boss and a few others, but the real catalyst is Jimmy, a hard-partying, arrogant ne'er-do-well played in a slyly flashy, scene-stealing performance by actor Richard Gadd, lately of BABY REINDEER fame.
Jimmy brings unpredictability to what seems like a somewhat stilted yet civilized proceeding, especially when he accidentally spikes the party punch with one of his drugs, which seems to remove any ability for its users to lie. Under this influence, Gadd expertly peels away Jimmy's bluster to a hilarious yet genuine vulnerability, an emotional shapeshifting repeated by anyone else who has drunk the punch. The unraveling of the party is captured in sharp-eyed, deft and quicksilver camerawork and brisk editing, as people start saying things they should not say and reveal secrets they've been holding onto for ages. All the actors, from Olivia Vinall as Abbie to Danny Ashok as Benji to Killian Coyle as Matt, are memorably specific, and all fall spectacularly apart as their facades crumble, revealing the gnarly truths underneath.
The result is glorious social anarchy, leading to a contagion of uproars, a crumbling of relationships, a self-defenestration and a car crash for good measure. But it also allows some characters to be more honest with one another, which promises some glimmers of hope in their relationships. The orchestrated chaos and a real zinger of an ending make TRUTH SERUM a memorably entertaining watch, bringing the maxim of "The truth will set us free" to quirky, unexpected and chaotic life.
omg its baby reigndeer

Omg right! It is him
@@maurovinicius5226 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Am I the only one who liked her hair? 🫣
We definitely need to give vast quantities of that blue liquid to ALL of the Government!
GENIUS idea!! 🧐
Agreed @craigjohnson4302 ! Thanks so much for watching and engaging
ONLY if it's TELEVISED, 24 hours a day!
@@DaveKraft1 lol
Not as great an idea as you think! The public wouldn't be able to handle the real truth and when all is said and done, EVERYBODY lies, so give the serum to world's population, and the world as we all know it, would end nearly instantly.
I found my self diving into the various characters and enjoying all of the character plots. I’m glad that the inciting incident was delayed, just enough. Thank you!
So glad to hear it @michaelmaultsby895 ! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch out film

How drunk were you when you typed this
@@Nickyjude2 If you've watched Baby Reindeer you'd understand bud..
😂
😂
@@Nickyjude2imagine being this out of the loop
I loved this one. It was good mischievous fun. I think you could have gotten another 10 minutes more out of this at or this should have a part 2 to wrap the storylines. Even how the actors are described in the credits is funny too. Great job.
Honestly, a life filled with truth serum is very lonely but it's the most useful thing I ever heard about. People's exhibitions being released before you know everyone deepest secrets and thoughts about you and the world, priceless 😂
I agree! oOH and the word you're looking for is 'inhibitions' :D Similar to exhibitions in a sense. No stress, I'm not being a Karen, I'm just an English teacher ^_^ 💜
@@neaonsynth You're right. Released inhibitions 😅
We need Richard Gadd in a cute gay rom com
This is a good companion piece for the movie the invention of lying.
Agreed! @yl000 , so many great films on this subject matter
I wish there were proper subtitles added to this film. I can't understand half of what anyone's saying, and the auto-generated subtitles suck.
I am soooo with you ! This is so frustrating, especially with good movies like this one...
Def a 'feel good' short.
Thankful for this one 😊
That was really entertaining🙂
Thanks so much for watching @kapa9601 and really glad you liked it!
👍 all characters were truly hilarious and the film is true to life
Aaah, there's me iphone?

Is he on Baby Reindeer? I watched it today ❤
I love this so much. I relate in some way to everyone and the environment.
Looks like a great party.
I feel sorry for the teenage girl hearing her mother confess she doesn’t know who her father is.
Very interesting and well acted. Good work mr./miss director!
I click on this because I recognize the actor on baby reindeer and I don’t regret it !! That was a great short
But it doesn't have a great subtitles so I don't understand like 60% of what the actors said
Awesome and entertaining, was so much fun to watch ... btw: does anyone know the song from the end credits?
Thanks very much for watching our film @DerNuesser and so glad you enjoyed it :)
It’s Come Clean by Kaliyo. It appears on an album called Spring/Summer. They’re on bandcamp if you want to check them out.

Baby reindeer
I only got 3 and a half minutes in and couldn't watch any more. All the characters were insufferable.

Why is it Omoletto has to throw in gay elements in the videos...
Could they have an agenda...
No. There is millions of gay people on Earth.
Well if inclusion is your criteria for an agenda, the heterosexual agenda has been on a rager.

Looks Like Jimmy recognized the girl as his daughter at the end since her mom said " I don't know who her dad is. For all she knows it could be Jimmy.
Exactly what I thought too.
thought the same
i hope so. They've met on equal footing. when Jimmy is ready for change, being better

Best short film I've seen. Nuanced characters, great dialogue, interesting plot points. Could be feature length or a tv show!
Thanks so much for the kind words @kibbleandquibble1732 , we really appreciate the positive review!
I agree totally
This is such a hilarious concept. I know I’m not supposed to like Jimmy, but he’s the only one I do like, lol.
He's the most likeable villain you'll ever meet lol! Thanks so much for watching @whatiwasgoingtosay :))
OK! OK! I'll tell the truth, ok! Yes, I liked it! 😀
I... did too. No, no... I loved it. I loved it!
Amazing job. Really incredible. Truth (almost) always take the weight off your shoulders. Great characters
Very good one. Thumbs up! If I had to make a critical remark I'd say I'd love this made into a movie length :)
The baby reindeer dude
A+C+I+D is truly the truth serum. There is a reason. It was designed that way. You get what you get no matter your price bracket. Be responsible kids....
Great work everyone. Nice little film.
Liked it a lot ❤
YOOO ITS THE DUDE FROM BABY REINDEER
I do hope he has not got a friend called Jimmy.
Dude from baby reindeer
