“This wasnu0026#39;t really a big story here, at least I donu0026#39;t remember anything at the time, but in the US, JT LeRoy was a celebrated underground author. Only problem was, heu0026#39;s not real. For a pretty punk tale, this doc is extremely well crafted, lovingly drip feeding the viewer this somewhat tragic and almost poetic and fascinatingly complex story. An intense story of identity, u0026quot;built brick by dysfunctional bricku0026quot; with the levels that are reached becoming truly staggering. What is u0026#39;realu0026#39; anyway.”
