Tru Love is a 2013 Canadian drama film written, directed, and produced by Kate Johnston and Shauna MacDonald.^[1] The film revolves around the relationships between a lesbian with commitment issues, a widowed mother and her workaholic daughter.

A 37-year-old lady named Tru Richmond (Shauna MacDonald) is well known for her propensity to change beds frequently and her difficulty settling down in one place for an extended period of time. Tru seems to have a fleeting life, lacking stability and a feeling of foundation, restless, and bearing emotional scars from her past. She relies on her wit, attractiveness, and charm to get by in life. But as she gets closer to her late thirties, her way of life starts to lose its appeal, leaving her feeling weary.

Tru meets Alice Beacon (Kate Trotter), a 60-year-old widow visiting the town to see her daughter Suzanne, a 25-year-old corporate lawyer who is also a mutual acquaintance of Tru's. Unexpectedly, Tru and Alice develop a special friendship that leads to a connection. While this is happening, Suzanne, who has a troubled relationship with her mother and a complicated history with Tru, worries more and more about the growing bond between Tru and Alice.

Suzanne tries to sabotage the developing romance because she feels threatened and jealous, but her strategy backfires, leading to unintended consequences.

Wolfe Releasing handled global distribution for Tru Love, while IndieCan Entertainment handled it in Canada. On October 7, 2014, it was made available on VOD, and on November 4, 2014, Wolfe Video published it on DVD. Watch True Love | Prime Video.
