New movie list The Imposter Nicholas was 13 the day he disappeared (June 13, 1994). He would have been 16 and 8 months when he was reported found in Spain (October 7, 1997)... In 1994 a 13-year-old boy disappears without a trace from San Antonio, Texas. Three and a half years later he is found alive, thousands of miles away in a village in southern Spain with a story of kidnap and torture. His family is overjoyed to bring him home. But all is not quite as it seems. The boy bears many of the same distinguishing marks he always had, but why does he now have a strange accent? Why does he look so different?

Review For The Imposter
A mesmerizing con-artist comedy and a chilling true crime thriller... Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service In the annals of forged identity flicks, this is a towering Everest, dwarfing the deceivers in the likes of Catch Me If You Can and F for Fake. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail This is edge-of-your-seat stuff and the difficulty is in the telling of the tale. To give any of this film away is a crime. You simply have to see it for yourself. Linda Barnard-Toronto Star The most fascinating aspect of the movie is why the missing boy's family believed the imposter's story. Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald You may begin to wonder if you aren't being conned by the movie yourself. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader Beverly Dollarhide, Nicholas's mother, says of the period after her son's disappearance, "My main goal in life at that time was not to think." Apparently, the filmmakers have taken a cue from her. Mark Feeney-Boston Globe Few films in the past year have matched the narrative cunning of Bart Layton's captivating true-crime documentary... Aaron Yap-Flicks.co.nz With his first feature doc, Layton proves himself not only adept at seeking out such true-life tales, but also telling them with the flair of a naturally gifted storyteller. Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide This documentary film, like 'Catfish' a couple of years ago, is about a clever impersonator, but 'The Impostor' is an even stranger and more serious story, and by the time you get near the end of this bizarre tale, it gets even stranger than that. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope A gripping thriller, heartbreaking family drama, and fascinating true-crime saga all in one package. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy Intriguing fictionalized true-crime psychological thriller doc. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews ... one of the most involving and compelling documentaries to come around in quite some time. David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews You won't believe this true story Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit Superbly crafted documentary about a missing teenager who mysteriously resurfaces after three years, prompting a riveting, better-than-fiction Cold Case-style drama. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) If only the movie didn't almost glamorise Bourdin's action, they'd have been onto a real masterpiece. Sam Bathe-Fan The Fire If you are a fan of true crime stories or the workings of the human mind, The Imposter will blow you away. Adam Ross-The Aristocrat ... both interesting and repellent. Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review An unnerving experience and a brilliant piece of documentary filmmaking that peels back the layers on one of the most perplexing stories Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie Layton layers "The Imposter" with powerful images in the dramatic re-creations, as well as a brooding soundscape and a concise pacing that distributes its information with the reserve of a good mystery writer. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune "The Imposter" may be the first movie since "Penn and Teller Get Killed" whose title may need its own spoiler alert. Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) Every bit as engaging as it is well-shot, it proves once more that truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune A mixture of documentary, mystery and thriller, which recounts an astonishing true story that gets more outrageous with each revelation Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com
