Review by unofficial reviewer
Very well made film based on a true lie which is the real story. An author (Laura Dern) uses a pen name to write what becomes a bestseller. She asks her sister in law (Kristen Stewart) to become the person known as JT Leroy, the fictitious name she used to pen the book. The two become real alter egos who together are the public JT Leroy.
Wonderful acting by both Dern and Stewart who deliver superb performances in this very compelling and interesting story.
