   Critics consensus While it may leave some viewers wishing for a more in-depth exploration of its story and themes, J.T. Leroy offers a diverting dramatization of incredible real-life events. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes

1. • • “J.T. LeRoy” is a tougher, better movie than “Author” and generally comes off as more honest. Directed by Justin Kelly, who wrote the script with Knoop, it focuses on Savannah’s role in the fraud, peeling back the details — physical, psychological — in a masquerade that rather astonishingly lasted some half-dozen years.

   • JT LeRoy is a decent telling of a fascinating, resonant true story. If it never really fulfils its promise, it's worth it to see two major talents - Kristen Stewart and Laura Dern - in full flow. Yet despite the presence of two of our very best female actors, the story has lost much of its power and intrigue.
