J.T. LeRoy

Kristen Stewart stars in the fascinating true story of Savannah Knoop, a young woman tapped to pretend to be the public face of J.T. LeRoy, the male literary persona used by her brother’s novelist girlfriend, Laura Albert (Laura Dern). Though reluctant, Savannah is drawn into the charade, keeping it going even as Hollywood actress Eva (Diane Kruger) becomes interested in adapting one of Albert’s books into a film. Jim Sturgess, Courtney Love co-star; based on the real-life Knoop’s memoir. 109 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH), Spanish.
