The movie contains some tremendous individual scenes but the whole isn’t better than the sum of its parts.

A story as remarkable as that of J.T. LeRoy deserves a more compelling rendition than the one presented in Justin Kelly’s interpretation.

There’s a point at which the “more of the same” mantra changes to “been there, done that.”

Falls afoul of tonal inconsistencies which can be especially detrimental in a story with its roots so deeply embedded in an abhorrent historical episode.

Feels a little too much like a money grab and, although moderately entertaining on a popcorn level, there’s a sense of missed opportunity.

Has its high points but is characterized by an exhaustive repetitiveness that diminishes what was so good and unique about the first two installments of the series.
