J.t. Leroy (2019)

"J.T. LeRoy" digs into the strange true story of literary hoax author Laura Albert and the elaborate identity built to sustain her fiction, with the drama unfolding through the tangled relationship between the woman behind the pen name and the young woman recruited to play her public face. Kristen Stewart and Diane Kruger anchor that dynamic, playing off each other with a charged intimacy that spills into the film's one nude scene. It's the kind of scene that lingers precisely because the rest of the film is so guarded, a rare unguarded flash in a story built on masks. Fans looking for that clip will find it collected here, a single but memorable entry from a film more interested in deception than skin.
