Audience Member Divertente ed incredibile storia vera che cerca di raccontare nel modo più completo e dinamico possibile un tentativo di truffa assurdo quanto audace. Richard Gere e Alfred Molina formano una coppia diversa e completa, due grandi attori che interpretano splendidamente i due protagonisti. La sceneggiatura è piena di eventi ed attenta ai dettagli, racconta in maniera fredda ed imparziale gli eventi, costruendo i personaggi in modo tale da permettere allo spettatore di non schierarsi da nessun lato; si osservano gli scatti d'ira immotivati e le bugie raccontate da Gere che sembra avere un vetro a separarlo da ogni altro essere umano. Più commedia che dramma epico, piacevole ma non indimenticabile.

A- Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/22 Full Review kevin c Richard Gere plays writer Clifford Irving who while struggling to find ideas for a new book, decides to pitch an authorized biography of Howard Hughes, only problem is he's making it all up counting on the no one finding out due to how reclusive the millionaire is. Based on the true story. Alfred Molina and Marcia Gay Harding costar. Fascinating story of how it all unfolded and how the mountain of lies and deceit became his downfall.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A little long, edged on boring in places but also really clever and genuinely funny. Good movie Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member I wasn't too enthusiastic about the Host. This film presents the anatomy of an audacious con artist and illustrates how the sin eventually catches up with the sinner. Due to an uneven tone, various unresolved plot threads, and a sense that a few too many liberties are being taken with the facts of the case, The Hoax falls a notch below those other films. It is neither as entertaining nor as involving, and the main character isn't as complex or sympathetic. The tone and pacing of The Hoax are uneven. Although the story is not uninteresting, experiencing it via this movie is like going on a car ride across a bumpy road. The Hoax rushes through parts of the story then slows down to focus on minutia. The most interesting bits of the movie involve the way in which writing about Hughes becomes an obsessive act for Irving. Gradually, even though he has never met the billionaire, he begins to imagine that he understands him. An alright diversion at best.
