Over deze film

Unforgettable, chilling and emotional, The Imposter tells the gripping true story of a Texan boy who went missing in 1994 and was miraculously found three and a half years later thousands of miles away in southern Spain. Despite glaring inconsistencies in his physical appearance, the boy's family brought their long-lost "son" home to restart his life in Texas. Questions soon arise: how could the Barclay's blonde, blue-eyed son have returned with darker skin and eyes? How could his personality and even accent have changed so dramatically? Truth soon proves stranger than fiction as the real story emerges. Universally critically acclaimed and nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, this is a jaw-dropping story about the lies we want to believe and the truths we choose to construct.

People will only ever hear what you tell them and this depiction of lies shows that evil can be as close as next door. This documentary will keep you wondering long after you've seen it.

Worth while purchase...interesting throughout...amazing these people really thought this was their brother,son,etc... Crazy

Really liked this movie in that it is almost utterly ridiculous what the family did. And definitely keeps you wondering after. Great, mind blowing story.
