If
The Imposter was presented as a feature film with a traditional narrative rather than a documentary, odds are most viewers would dismiss it as laughably improbable. With twists that feel like they’ve been gleaned from the pages of a pulpy page-turner, implausibilities that seem as if they were whipped-up by a half-baked mystery novelist, and a compelling emotional arc that will leave many (especially parents) feeling as if they’ve been run through a wringer, the movie uses handsomely shot reenactments to draw us in before allowing the actual participants to weave a story that can only be classified as too strange for fiction.
