The title ofJT LeRoyis off the mark by only a couple of steps, but theyre gigantic ones.
But its not primarily the story of JT LeRoy a.k.a.
Knoops perspective is interesting especially when shes played (very well) by Kristen Stewart.
But its notthatinteresting, at least not compared to Alberts bizarre odyssey.
Mopey, reluctant Savannah has nowhere near the same kind of dramatic stature.
Stewart is good at this sort of character, the non-actress who sits outside her own body.
How on Earth did Albert get away with this?
(She didnt, ultimately, but it took a while for the artifice to become outright laughable.
It just feels… marginal.
The great JT Leroy movie would have this perspective but so much more.
JT LeRoyisnt a bad movie, and with these actresses its certainly worth seeing.
