Nice puff piece. The real documentary is called The Cult of JT LeRoy. It's the version Laura Albert does not want you to see.

I don't know what the hype is all about. There are writers who write under pen names. Freedom of speech! I would think that her actor friends wouldn't be so upset about it being actors, they should probably give her an Emmy Award or an Academy Award. I watched the documentary and thought it was a excellent. Her imagination brought people into her fictional world. She took on a different name because she felt she was not attractive enough to be out in public. She sent out the actress to play her because she was overweight.

She didn't so much adopt a pseudonym or nom-de-plume as she invented a fake person that she sold as real. There's a world of difference there. She didn't choose a different name for herself, she chose a name for a fictional person who was not herself...she didn't want to write as herself, she could only process her trauma through the filter of a fictional person. There's no need to demonize her, but there's no need to make excuses for her behaviour either...

No she is a scam artist and has been all her life. She defrauds people, that is her profession, or that was her profession before becoming a rock n roll trickster darling thanks to outlets like VICE. Other documentaries have uncovered a rap sheet a mile long of scamming people. Even her partner in crime and X husband had had enough of her scams and left her because she is batshit crazy and because he felt the law closing in on them.

I guess I'll be the voice of ascent, here: This film is AMAZING. I loved the Devil & Daniel Johnston, he is such a beautiful man and Jeff did such a great job at dignifying a life that's so often ignored or disdained. I loved JT's work, I didn't feel at all tricked when all the cream rose because there was no trick, it was never written as an attempt to hoax the hipsters, it wasn't meant as anything but a metaphorical and FICTIONAL representation of the workings-out of Laura Albert's pain and trauma and as far as I'm concerned: She Won Self Care. she's apologetic enough but not overly so, she's plenty self-deprecating and she's honest as hell about her brand of crazy. I'm full of love for Both Albert and this film.

By the way, there is not one British accent, but many. They are all regional, like north east, north west, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and cities like Liverpool where they speak scouse and it is horrid. A lot of people dislike brummy too, which is Birmingham. All the different regions and counties of Britain have different accents like I said.

Hey Vice start cranking out some meaningful and original content like you used to do. You're all soppy, dainty and careful. I missed the old Vice where you would send ruthless journalists into hostile areas just to uncover a secret truth hidden underneath a culture or society..... Now all you do is interview people and pander to the Social Justice Crowd....... It's all you do. I miss Vice Travels, hamilton's pharmacopeia, Fringe and Rule Britannia. You changed Vice, you changed.

AND: VICE has always been a voice for Alternative Everything. This film is NO exception. If you think it's about celebrities and entertainment and frivolity, kindly shove your Relevant Membership card up your collective asses. It's about a woman's struggle with overcoming serious childhood trauma by using the skills she had, creating tremendous art from her pain and having what ultimately seems like a minor caper in the process. She cost no one a cent, she paid the fine she had levied [against her in a civil suit] and she isn't living like a rockstar. 1. Struggles with mental health and trauma. 2. Art. Good, subversive, fresh and edgy FICTION. Almost punk-rock. 3. Behaved responsibly by taking her undeserved lumps [by paying that ridiculous fine], by revealing herself to the most important people in her life [which kept her from losing her job, thank g_d]. Vice is doing the same sorts of films as ever, the crux of this story is a solid social issue and human interests.
