Rating: 3/5 --
Dern brings a hungry, manic energy to Albert... while Stewart's performance is typically interiorised and exacting.

Observer (UK)
Anchored by its two excellent leads, the movie is sympathetic and, for the most part, unsentimental.
New York Times
Although JT himself never lived, that doesn't mean he wasn't real, and this compelling film explores that delightfully while handing Stewart yet another standout performance.

Flickering Myth
JT LeRoy may add to the overall mystique of the story when reviewed alongside the docs and books on the subject. Taken on its own, it leaves the viewer wanting more depth and nuance to bring things full circle.

The film is at its strongest when it's exploring the nature of manipulation and who, exactly, is manipulating whom.

Yet despite the presence of two of our very best female actors, the story has lost much of its power and intrigue.
