Lystløgneren og den forsvundne dreng

...en yderst fængslende oplevelse. Og Frédéric Bourdin er glat som en ål, manipulerende og mærkeligt charmerende.

Layton has designed this film partly as a tall tale—with amusing fish-out-of-water anecdotes about Bourdin’s experiences posing as a Texas high-schooler—and partly as an intellectual exercise.

This film is as gripping as any white-knuckle thriller: it is one of the year's best.

The year’s most fascinating and frightening doc so far, The Imposter delves far beneath the hysterical tabloid headlines.

It's both preposterous and horrific, and therein lies its powerful, disquieting charm.
