The tag line for The Imposter couldn't be more true; 'There are two sides to every lie'. The Imposter is the new 'Capturing the Friedmans' so far as style and intrigue goes but I've not seen a film that really fits the profile of 'So unbelievable, it must be true' as much as this. The key to this documentary is the fact that both sides sound believable but one of them is definitely lying. It beggars belief but then that is what documentaries are for. Don't watch hoping to find out all the answers though, you've got to make your own mind up but then again that is the sign of a good documentary doing what it is supposed to do and doing it well I might add.
