AN HONEST LIAR is a feature documentary about the world-famous magician, escape artist, and world-renowned enemy of deception, James 'The Amazing' Randi. The film brings to life Randi's intricate investigations that publicly exposed psychics, faith healers, and con-artists with quasi-religious fervor. A master deceiver who came out of the closet at the age of 81, Randi created fictional characters, fake psychics, and even turned his partner of 25 years, the artist Jose Alvarez, into a sham guru named Carlos. But when a shocking revelation in Randi's personal life is discovered, it isn't clear whether Randi is still the deceiver - or the deceived.
Leave your thoughts about An Honest Liar.
| VarietyDennis HarveyAn Honest Liar is a highly entertaining portrait of James “the Amazing” Randi. |
| RogerEbert.comGodfrey CheshireIf its account of Randi’s work as an exceptional entertainer and a zealous debunker were all that An Honest Liar gave us, it would be a tremendously fascinating film. But the movie also contains a third-act surprise – which won’t be revealed here – that makes it both unexpectedly revelatory and deeply moving. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...a truly revelatory and touching endeavor. |
| Boston GlobePeter KeoughIt would violate a taboo to relate how this movie magic, masterfully orchestrated by Weinstein and Measom, is done. Their film is as smooth as Randi’s patter and demonstrates how the documentarian’s camera is quicker than the eye. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertRandi's ability to disclose Popoff's religious perjury will make any skeptic stand and applaud. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsRandi's story suggests a modern-day footnote to Herman Melville's novel The Confidence-Man, reflecting the strange interplay between show business, religion, and hucksterism in American life. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzAn Honest Liar is a fascinating look at what the truth means, and how it means different things to different people. It's also a reminder that no one has a monopoly on it. Not even the Amazing Randi. |
| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersA genuinely entertaining feature-length documentary. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldRandi's a sly charmer, and an engaging guide through the film ... |
| Movie HabitMarty MapesJames Randi exposes frauds and charlatans, but is he guilty of deception too? |
