Rob Lowe’s film “Confession,” scripted by Ben Shapiro and starring James Franco and Jennifer Jason Leigh, receives mixed responses from critics. Multiple outlets describe the movie as slow-moving and dialogue-heavy, with some reviewers finding value in its performances and craft while others question whether it sustains interest.
Variety frames the film as deliberately paced and talky, suggesting it feels like an adaptation of a stage play. The Independent similarly emphasizes that critics split over whether it is engaging (“Masterpiece”) or tedious. While outlets note Shapiro’s role in writing the script and his connection to Daily Wire as a distributor, they largely focus their assessments on the film’s tone and execution rather than on broader politics.
