The Imposter is a documentary that takes the Rashomon approach to telling an insane true story about a dusky Frenchman who convinces two nations’ worth of bureaucracies and a Texas family that he is a missing blond, blue-eyed adolescent Texas boy. There are no heroes in The Imposter, not even the family. The closest that we get to heroics is a suspicious tabloid detective. If it were fiction, you would throw your shoe at the screen and say that it was unbelievable. If you do not like a story that provides no answers as to what really happened to Nicholas Barclay, then don’t watch it otherwise The Imposter is riveting in its portrayal of human behavior at its worst, and I’m not just referring to the titular figure.
