If you loved American Animals, try The Imposter

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Bart Layton, and they both carry the mindfuck mood tag, and they sit in Crime / Documentary territory. If that's the register that drew you to American Animals, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Imposter is

San Antonio, 1994. An empty swing set. A boy vanishes. Years later, a young man appears in Spain, claiming the missing child's identity. Back in Texas, family members embrace the impossible return. Layton's docu-mystery plays cat-and-mouse with true-crime expectations.
