Review of J.T. LeRoy (2019) by Peter Bradshaw for The Guardian — 15 Aug 2019
It’s a very forthright performance from Dern, but Stewart is simply too opaque and subdued in the role of Knoop. The film itself pulls its punches, unwilling to satirise either her or the egregious Albert too fiercely; it is inhibited about really attacking the vanity of the situation.
