There's a bluntness to the narrative I appreciate. Mott is so obviously a grifter and the elite D.C. spaces he infiltrates are populated by people who firmly believe they could never be grifted which makes them the perfect target for someone who has ambition without much intelligence.

It starts off a bit boring, but soon drags one into the dark and strange story of this sleazebag, climbing up ranks of imaginary fame and fortune. Unfortunately there are people like that all across the globe, charming themselves into ever higher positions of influence. Some wreaking havoc in the process, other cheating millions, even billions out of unsuspecting victims. All gaining what they should not have. Christoph Waltz's and Vanessa Redgrave's performances are impeccable and really bring this story to life. True or not! 6 1/2 out of 10 points.

A decent story with a great performance by Waltz.

Really well acted thriller. Really amazing story.

Good play of the actors. Story is normal and not surprising.

Christopher Waltz knows how to embody the narcissistic grifter to a tee. "You remind me of a young Ullricht Mott" honing in on young diolomat Weatherford as his next satelitte to orbit Motts self agrandised reality. One reviewer said Motts performance was too clown like. But its honestly Chilling if you've ever had the misfortune to have to deal with a self aggrandising userer narcissist.

Loved it! Christoph Walz was perfect in his portrayal of an extreme narcissist - very creepy and very true.... I ws mesmerized by him and the lies he wove into the society, making a mockery of all and sundry. Good for Annette Bening as the daughter!!!

A very good movie with unpredictable plot…. So refreshing to see a movie with no super avengers or cops and robbers in it… I think you will like it. Mature.

Although it is a true story, it doesn't resonate with as many people beyond the beltway. Pretty fascinating despite this, but is Waltz limited to taking on these roles of deception? It was on Amazon.

since it was a true story it was great
