Is the sentence “it’s not really” correct on its own? It’s used in the context of someone saying something you don’t believe to be true.
I’d just go by saying “it’s not true”. Because “really” makes me wanna hear something more like, “it’s not really interesting”. But in the context of not believing it sounds odd to me.

@nuriavivo "It's not really" isn't what I'd say in that situation. "You're not really" is probably more appropriate.
A: "That movie is super long."
B: "It's not really. It's only 2 hours."
That is more how I'd expect to hear "It's not really."

"It's not really" is fine by itself.

For example,
Person A: Did you hear? Mrs Thompson is our new teacher.
Person B: What? Seriously? She hates me!
Person A: Don't worry, she's not really! I was only joking.
"It's not true" wouldn't sound at all natural here - no native speaker would say it.

@lydiadragonfruit oh thanks! Actually, the situation was “I’m so clumsy, I’ve already told you!” and then “oh it’s not really!”
