Review of The Imposter (2012) by Shawn O — 28 Nov 2014
Watching this whilst currently obsessed with the 'Serial podcast it was impossible not to draw parallels between the two. Whereas the reporting on 'Serial' seems honest and story-led this is the exact opposite.
The story is incredible but you can't help but feel that so much is either being kept back from you the viewer to create dramatic tension or that the investigative side simply wasn't done with the story just taken at face value.
That does't detract from what is a really interesting watch but it does lend itself to a pretty unsatisfying conclusion.
