Leave your thoughts about The Imposter.
| Sydney Morning HeraldBrad NewsomeDirector Bart Layton pieces together a story you wouldn't believe if it wasn't true. |
| CineVueJoseph WalshLayton's The Imposter is not only one of the very best documentaries of 2012, but is arguably a contender for best feature - full-stop. |
| Empire MagazineGuy LodgeThe year's most fascinating and frightening doc so far, The Imposter delves far beneath the hysterical tabloid headlines. |
| Total FilmMatt GlasbyCreepier than "Catfish" and as cinematic as "Man On Wire," this is an unnerving story immaculately told and a strong contender for documentary of the year. |
| Screen-SpaceSimon FosterThe Imposter morphs effortlessly from scene-to-scene - a noir-ish mystery thriller, a crime-scene procedural, a drama chronicling a family's anguish, a facts-only documentary - yet exists as a fluid single entity of profoundly impactful force. |
| The AristocratAdam RossIf you are a fan of true crime stories or the workings of the human mind, The Imposter will blow you away. |
| DCistPat PaduaThe plot and unravelling of this criminal Rich Little keeps you glued to the screen. But even more interesting than the star trickster are the family members who want to believe in his story. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Robbie CollinIt's a sensational story transposed into sensational cinema. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin Wilson"The Imposter" is one of the best films of the year. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterThe Imposter frequently sends your jaw hurtling to the floor as it tries to understand the great pretender and a family only too willing to accept him as one of their own. |
