Review of The Imposter

The Imposter (2012)
Documentary making at it's worst
4 September 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This documentary is pretty devoid of civilized humanity. It's like it was made by a sociopath about a sociopath. It's a mockery of people who are driven to make bad choices because of trauma and the worst pain imaginable. Totally exploitative in nature and not even that well-made at all.

spoilers ahead:

The end scene showing them digging up the yard of the family's old house was completely unnecessary. They found nothing yet tried to imprint as hard as they could that the family had this huge shadow of doubt over them. This movie was taking the word of literally the biggest liar in the world. The imposter imbecile probably holds a world record in lying.

The only person more stupid than the filmakers, and the imposter, is the FBI agent who swallowed every one of his words without even questioning the likelihood or the global scandal that would be involved making worldwide headlines of american boys being kidnapped by people in the military for sex slavery with technology to change their eye color in the 90s. I mean just effing insane for her not even to question the facts. Then she doubled down on her idiocy by believing the imposter that the family murdered the missing child when there was zero, I mean literally zero evidence except her making the woman take the lie detector test over and over until she got the result she wanted from the grieving mother.

The imposter himself is the grossest, ugliest excuse for a human being I have ever seen. He literally is trying to get compassion from people with his dumb, "my grandfather was racist against my father" b.s. I'm sorry millions have suffered the same and didn't go on to exploit the good intentions of every person he encountered and the literal tragedy and pain of the family of the missing kid. He's a thief in every aspect of the word. He's ugly and insane and his voice is the most annoying thing you'll ever hear.

Don't waste your time on this, there is nothing to be gotten out of it. Nothing edifying or redeeming. Just low moments by humans exploited for money.
