The Cult of JT LeRoy Audience Reviews

Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
numbercruncher A literary hoax that picked up extraordinary steam before imploding is charted in "The Cult of JT LeRoy." Having begun filming the subject in 2002, and with a background in social work uniquely congruent with "his" background claims, Marjorie Sturm draws on a rich array of material to assemble a first documentary feature that's fascinating on numerous levels.
