Jeremiah Terminator LeRoy Ratings & Reviews
Bitch Media
Katharine Coldiron
Kristen Stewart is note-perfect as the androgynous, uncomfortable Knoop - alluring in spite of her awkwardness, intelligent and well-spoken when she decides to speak, constantly on the brink of fleeing any room she's in.
FilmDINGHY.com
Doris Toumarkine
As the feverish airhead scheme-meister, Dern electrifies in a near-toxic, hypnotic fusion of manic 60s flower children on speed, an even more energized 60s/70s Grace Slick, and name-yer-hyper-self-involved motor-mouth wannabe of today.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Wade Major
Tells [the story] faithfully, but maybe not bravely. It's a competent film, it's an interesting film... but I don't think it digs as deeply as it could.
MovieJawn
Jaime Davis
JT LeRoy may add to the overall mystique of the story when reviewed alongside the docs and books on the subject. Taken on its own, it leaves the viewer wanting more depth and nuance to bring things full circle.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
A lukewarm examination of what might have been a hot topic - and that means it risks being overshadowed by the real-life soap opera playing out around it.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
JT LeRoy isn't a bad movie, and with these actresses it's certainly worth seeing.
Observer
Rex Reed
Believe it or not, J.T. LeRoy is a story too far out to be so boring.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Fagerholm
Though Feuerzeig's picture remains the definitive chronicle of Albert's creative process and the personal demons that informed it, Kelly's film brings us at least a half-step closer to understanding Knoop's motivation for keeping the ruse alive.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
The new film smartly illuminates what's been missing from other accounts: Why someone like Knoop would agree to, and even enjoy, taking part in someone else's hoax.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
But where Dern and Stewart kick-start something worth exploring, the movie around them is pleased spectator instead of engaged participant.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Anchored by its two excellent leads, the movie is sympathetic and, for the most part, unsentimental.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
Who doesn't love a good imposter story?
Slant Magazine
Rob Humanick
It's disappointing that so much of the film feels like mere tilling of the soil.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
This story remains fascinating, but the perspective here feels skewed.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
"JT Leroy," despite some interesting performances, never quite catches fire.
AWFJ.org
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
This is a thoroughly serviceable indie film built around both dense and dazzling performances by Dern and Stewart alike, so this should be a slam dunk, and yet...these are far from ordinary times.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
A capable film featuring superbly spiky performances...
RogerEbert.com
Tomris Laffly
Kelly's film is largely entertaining, set in a world where everyone is playing someone else.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
While technically a supporting character, Dern often steals the show, relishing the opportunity to shift between a trio of personalities to darkly comic effect. That's appropriate in a movie all about the perils of seeking attention.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
For a movie about what's going on under the elaborately staged surface, it's pretty much all surface, right down to its shallow observations about gender fluidity, queer identity and the creative freedom of the alternate persona.
