I'm no government-employed linguist or anything, but I'm pretty sure that there isn't any amount of military-grade buttsecks that could transform a southern Texas drawl into something that sounds like it should come from Pepe le Pew's Albanian cousin. SPOILER: the title.

This is probably the closest a film has to come to "scaring" me since I realised that films aren't scary. The story itself is terrifying enough but it increases tenfold upon the realisation that this is an actual documentary (I went into this completely blind). Incredibly well made and a fascinating, nail-biting experience. One of this years best.

Hey, Bart Layton here to tell you I put my heart and soul into making this film and I hope you enjoy all of the twists and turns this sometimes shocking true story has in store for you. I also hope you reflect on the impact that this story has had on the people involved, like myself, Carey Gibson.

Suspenseful and probably the most entertaining documentary I've seen. The narration held me in its grip throughout and there are some nice twists and turns. The denouement is less than amazing but the film, though it's hard to believe, is about real life events, after all. It's beyond insane that this really happened.

It’s very hard for me to review a documentary, especially Imposter. Despite the overall outcome being laid open as the crux of the film, there are many twists, thrills, chills, laughs, and very dark corners yet to experience. There are so many layers to this story, and Imposter peels them away with a Hitchcockian flair for mounting tension. A blend of interviews and horror-thriller style dramatization makes for a perfect cocktail of shock and disbelief

I think Einstein said it best: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." The part where the mom says 'her main goal in life is not to think' had me in stitches. A fascinating story that has to be seen to be believed.

The decision to forefront Bourdin's deception saps a great deal of the film's mystery -- it's immediately clear that this brown-eyed, French-accented dude with a five o'clock shadow is not young Nicolas -- and as a result the family's acceptance of him is never really rendered intelligible. There's some great material for satire here -- how the hell did Spanish and American authorities allow this situation to happen? -- but it's played far too straight.

The documentary seems to imply something is going on with the Barclays and it's impossible not to be suspicious. Why would they accept Frederic Bourdin as their missing son when that's obviously not the case? Jason's suicide, as well as Beverly's unpredictable behavior, seems to point the accusatory arrow their way, but no conclusive evidence has been found. What the fuck? Is this Texas' fault? Fucking Texas. "My main goal in life was not to think." - Beverly Dollarhide

One of the most masterfully edited films I've ever seen. Especially the ending, which built suspense in an incredible way. The story is too crazy to not be compelling throughout and Bourdin is such a weasel that you are gripped to the story trying to figure out if he's lying or not. The mom had that Robert Durst vibe, stop licking your lips baby. The film hits new heights when the private eye is introduced. That guy needs a reality show asap

its manipulation is too transparent; my all-encompassing suspicion prevented me from falling into the trap of mirroring the family's confirmation bias (and feeling implicated by that final shot). linklater's superior 'bernie' forced me to adopt the town's perspective with an innocuous tone echoing bernie's homely, earnest charm; i didn't feel manipulated, so i wasn't suspicious. mcconaughey's disgust left me feeling chastened and unsettled. 'the imposter' just left me feeling smarter than it.

Wow, I guess life IS stranger than fiction. What a compelling story, although I think the documentary might be slightly on the side of the imposter as in the end we see that he is a very, very deceiving person, we are not told of this until the very end and it makes you think of the family as murderers. Which they might be, but a documentary has to be more objective. Really well shot, edited and told story. A little bit mainstream but still a great watch.

This is an example of a fantastic and unbelievable story given just the right treatment. The film doesn't heighten the drama or play manipulative games, but it does turn an already strange story about a man pretending to be an abducted teenager into something even stranger. The main players are sympathetic but also a bit dubious and there's always a hook pushing you towards the next revelation.

Impeccably edited account of a remarkable tale. I did feel a bit cheated though: you wonder how the filmmaker is going to resolve the burning question of why the family embraced this man, and Layton hints at a sinister reason, but in the end doesn't follow through. Strangely, the pathological liar at the centre of this story comes across as the most believable character.

This film tries to sell you on a bigger conspiracy for which there is (by it's own admission) zero evidence. It would be a much better film if it really considered how much delusion people are willing to accept in order to be a little happier.

Amazing film craftsmanship and story. One of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Unbelievably interesting, and masterfully told. It's like I Think We're Alone Now's more ambitious cousin. Layton has a keen understanding of the human condition and he expresses every emotion in way in which you can empathize with all of them, which I think is quite an achievement.

Creepy but fascinating glimpse inside the mind of an abused but sociopathic con artist drifter who successfully imitated a family's teenage son for a period of months before a detective found him out. Raises all sorts of "what the fuck?" questions, few of which it answers satisfactorily. Sadly, the weakest aspect is the editing and narration, which feels like a small-time US TV producer got their hands on it. Frightening that people like Bourdin exist, but the film is hard to take at face value.

Though annoyed with the drawn out, manipulative third act, I thought the idea behind this film was an important one: we tell ourselves stories, construct narratives that bring us some kind of benefit. Within such frameworks, suggestion takes on a powerful role. I was most mystified by the FBI investigator, as she was supposed to be someone with the habit of critical thinking, but even she was taken in. Viva la pensée critique!

A good docu with a fictional narrative, or so it feels. It's bizarre this actually happened. The only thing the director could have improved on is the ending, exploring Bourdin's psyche. It is obvious he is a genuine fantasist and has a personality disorder. I would have liked to know how he was shaped this way. Given the stories he told to some therapists he could have been abused himself, as a child. Overall a good documentary. The thick thriller element could have been toned down somewhat.

Frédéric told the story, with every detail, in such arrogant and convincing way that it felt like he gave an exposé of the thing he was most proud of in his life.

Not really a documentary at all, The Imposter is more of a fictionalized movie supposedly based on a true story.

The hype is there, but The Imposter, since its very beginning, when the film is fastly rewinded after the introduction and a Discovery Channel-like dramatization is staged, feels like a documentary that is always attempting to overcome the interest on its main subject, a french con artist that manages to fool spanish policemen, the FBI and a family of a missing child and even accuse this same family or killing this kid when he realizes his cover is no longer believable. Tricky, but not bright.

There are a few stylistic touches early on in the recreations of Bourdin's initiating the con that rubbed me the wrong way, but once we reach the point where "Nicholas" is "reunited" with "his" family, it becomes intensely gripping and at one point actually made me mutter "oh, what the fuuuuck" when certain implications were made - implications that, for a number of reasons, were not entirely expanded on. This whole case is completely bananas. Bonus points for 16 Horsepower's Wayfaring Stranger.

Bourdin is just an incredible character. His playful, smug retelling of the whole tale elevates the movie so much. Perhaps a little too dramatised and selective - they definitely deliberately picked parts where the family came off as stupid - but the movie's still tense as shit and legitimately unbelievable.

His stories are elaborate and shocking. This is definitely a great movie to watch if you like unsolved mysteries or murder cases. The whole thing is done very well. My biggest complaint is that you have more questions than answers by the end. Just remember to look at people's ears, that's how you really tell who is who.

The story has such a rich tapestry of bizarre circumstances that the highly stylized way in which it is told becomes a terrible distraction.

This is a "truth is stranger than fiction" doc that is legit in the beginning. Midway through, it makes some bold allegations. Then, due to the editing of the final scene with the P.I. it effectively ends on a cliffhanger. I'm not really cool with a documentary that presents things like that. If it's a fictional movie, fine, but if you are making a legitimate documentary you have a responsibility to present the facts even if they don't support your allegations or aren't as entertaining.

I went into this with some misconceptions. For whatever reason I was expecting a much more intelligent, eerie depiction of a strange crime, with perhaps a touch of Exit Through the Gift Shop style meta-reality. But that's not what this is; rather it's a fairly generic crime story that you'd be likely to see on prime time TV. True the polished style sets it beyond that stylistically, but the level of involvement I felt was nothing greater than that of a 15 minute Dateline NBC story.

Knowing nothing about the real case I didn't know what to expect. I liked the premise and wanted to see what came from it. Turns out this is a pretty complex docu-thriller, and not what I thought at all. It draws you into the world of a pathological liar/identity theft, goes from being a gripping tale of a family and loss to a true-crime movie. Like his identity, you're left wondering what the truth is in all of this, what happened to Nicholas?

It ended up being a whole lot more interesting and messed up than I anticipated. I enjoyed watching it a lot. It was very compelling and even nerve-wracking. It's a pretty insane story, and it's hard to believe it's true. The film was very well-made, with great editing and effective use of dramatisations. I definitely recommend this.

This is a really interesting documentary. The film is interesting the entire way and it raises several interesting questions. Unfortunately the film leaves you wanting to known what happened to one person at the end but because it is based on real events we do not know what actually happened. I definitely recommend this well made documentary.

"The film shrewdly opts not to proffer its own hypothesis about the true reasons behind the Gibson family buying Frédéric Bourdin's story." - Nick Schager

Maybe I'm missing something, but it basically seemed like a typical episode of Unsolved Mysteries. The film could have benefited from exploring what made some one of the central characters tick; the fact that there is little information and clues at the end of the film also disappointed me(predicated score: 72)

Absolutely mesmerising from start to finish, The Imposter plays out stunningly, yet inevitably.
