Ruffalo's performance as the twins here is a career best. He melts into each brother so completely that it's almost startling to remember that he plays both of them.

I Know This Much Is True is a relentless march of tragedy.

Each brother could become a showy caricature of their written selves, and yet [Ruffalo] lives in the small, quiet moments as well as big, explosive outbursts.

I hope some of you reading this will watch the series and find that profound thing, which I tried to but couldn't.

With an irritatingly stylish camera move unnecessarily teasing us before a big reveal, through the final scenes, by which time the viewer is more exhausted than enlightened, this is one of the more disappointing misfires of the home viewing year.

It's not Ruffalo's fault - he's great here - but the material is spread too thin over too much canvas, then culminates in too banal a "truth." In a word, it's as dull as it is grim.

It's Ruffalo who rescues the show from mediocrity, counteracting heavy-handed twists and on-the-nose lines...

"I Know This Much Is True" misses the mark in terms of storytelling. It just sits there, a roiling mass of misery that fails to provide you with a compelling reason to keep watching.

How well you tolerate it has more to do with the height of your Debbie Downer index than your appetite for high-level acting in service of a sprawling, decades-long epic.

Ruffalo ascends to the head of the Emmy class in a demanding dual role.

Seeing actors do what they do best, with Cianfrance giving them the space to do it, makes I Know This Much is True a real feast.

The obvious question is why or even how anybody could or would sit through such a thing. And the answer, equally obvious to anyone who watches even five minutes, is the awesome performance of Mark Ruffalo as both twins.
