Reviews:

What is ‘real’ anyway.
This wasn’t really a big story here, at least I don’t remember anything at the time, but in the US, JT LeRoy was a celebrated underground author. Only problem was, he’s not real. For a pretty punk tale, this doc is extremely well crafted, lovingly drip feeding the viewer this somewhat tragic and almost poetic and fascinatingly complex story. An intense story of identity, “built brick by dysfunctional brick” with the levels that are reached becoming truly staggering. What is ‘real’ anyway.

Amusing? Slightly… Infuriating? Definitely!
This film brings up a LOT of issues but then focuses one only one. That’s annoying.

I don’t know what the law is regarding fraudulent contracts.

I do know that anyone who hires a person to fake a persona and enters into an intimate relationship as Albert did through Savannah with Asia Argento is abusive. Albert disregards her culpability by projecting her motives unto Argento. She claims Argento would do anything for the rights to her story which is why she had been intimate with Savannah but she doesn’t know that. And the phone call at the end of the film where she gaslight Argento by insisting she “told” Argento the truth though not really – it’s a narcisstic nightmare.

I’m horrified Albert was not only sexually abused but actually takes some responsibility for it because her 3-year-old body responded. Perhaps if all that time in therapy had been spent on Albert and not Albert’s manipulations of reality she would be in a better place.

I’m left to wonder about HOW she kept so many people under her spell for so long…it’s actually terrifying.

Also, how much did the doctor know? If the doctor truly wasn’t aware of the truth, Albert sucked up a LOT of scarce, adolescent-foceused mental health resources.

SHAME ON HER!
