Full trailer for the riveting Sundance documentary The Imposter

Regardless of genre, The Imposter (2012) was one of my favorite films at Sundance. Director Bart Layton has

crafted a riveting documentary that plays out like a mystery-thriller; it’s an excellent mix of real interviews and dramatizations. I was immediately drawn in by the story and completely captivated for the whole runtime, as numerous twists occur throughout the film. Of course, the less you know about the story the better, so don’t go looking up information about the people or case as it would ruin what is an amazing viewing experience knowing little-to-nothing about the plot (yet still thrilling if you’ve already seen it). After an unofficial teaser trailer hit online a few months ago, the official trailer has arrived; check it out below!.
