Review: The Hoax
Interesting movie and a very personal view on how the “authorised” biography of Howard Hughes came to life. On most levels it’s equivalent to 2003’s Shattered Glass, both where you can see how one lie can be a fertile ground for manymore. Both have overall good acting involved, and the story is engaging because of how the lies are perceived and how it evolves. But unlike the dark and moody Shattered Glass, there seems to be an subdued but always present light-heartedness to this movie.7½.
