Leave your thoughts about The Woman Who Wasn't There.
| Village VoiceNick PinkertonThe Woman Who Wasn't There plays like a by-the-numbers cable true-crime documentary -- which in fact it is. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeA singularly unsettling film no less effective for deliberately giving away its twist in the title. |
| User ReviewCory AOh what a tangled web we weave....and why....why would someone do that? And how on EARTH did she get away with it for so LONG?!? |
| User ReviewAndrew AFascinating, bizarre, disturbing. A well-made (if brief!) documentary that takes itself very seriously. |
| User ReviewGary M SSimply put, some people are pieces of poop. |
| User ReviewJulie MUnsettling and immensely captivating, this is the story of one of the worst con jobs anyone could possibly perpetrate. Whether "Ms. Head" is sick or evil, I could care less. She deserves every bit of condemnation she receives. |
| User ReviewJames OLacking a sharp point of view but a fascinating story, nonetheless. |
| User ReviewJ GInteresting, but leaves you wanting to know WAY more (not necessarily the filmmakers' fault) |
| User ReviewBret GNot a great documentary, but a smooth one, and important if only for reminding us that sociopaths/compulsive liars exist. Rent it. |
| User ReviewPhil MThis is a story of a pathological attention-seeker who lies about being in the towers on 9/11 and proceeds to co-found World Trade Survivors' Network, guide tours of ground zero, negotiate for 9/11 victims' families, etc. There's a lot to this story, but overall, it struck me as an interesting look at just how messed up people can get without actually being psychotic. |
