Talking about I Know This Much Is True with The Wrap, Derek Cianfrance who has adapted the screenplay from Wally Lamb’s novel said, “I think he understands that he’s not going to lose Dominick, and that he loves Dominick and Dominick deserves to know. It just comes a time when, I think later in life when people are entering their final chapters, I think a lot of their secrets can come out.”
He also opened up about why Ray didn’t reveal their mother’s secret for so long. “One of the reasons he probably held that secret for so many years was, one, because the mother never wanted the kids to know — because she thought they would hate her for it,” he said.
