![JT LeRoy [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816xYvsXUdL.jpg)
Based on Savannah Knoop's memoir Girl Boy Girl: How I Became JT Leroy, this captivating true story goes beyond the headlines to tell the story of the most compelling literary 'hoax' of recent times. Laura Albert (Laura Dern) writes as her "avatar," a disenfranchised young queer man named JT LeRoy. When her debut novel becomes a best-seller and JT becomes the darling of the literary world, she comes up with a unique solution to preserve her anonymity but give life to her nom-de-plume. Enter her boyfriend's androgynous fun-loving sister Savannah Knoop (Kristen Stewart), who connects with Laura's punk, feminist, outsider universe and agrees to be JT in the public eye. Together, they embark on a wild ride of double lives, infiltrating the Hollywood and literary elite, only to discover who they are while pretending to be someone else.]]>

Love this story
I enjoyed this movie! What a crazy story. I love it when artists mess with their public personas. The film isn't ground breaking in a movie making sense, but it's done well.

Not a compelling presentation
Just didn't think it was well made.

Fascinating Subject
I was raising young kids during this era and so I missed the whole media buzz about JT LeRoy, so I was really interested to check it out. The movie was forgettable right after watching, but it was entertaining at the time of watching it.

Entertained me, and thats what matters.
Good perverted flick. Asia Argento ended up blowing the kid in real life years after this movie was made..he sued and she settled out of court $$$$$$$$$
