F for Fake

...also a sly treatise on authorship, the socio-cultural relevance of art and the perks of roguish genius.

...a playful, personal essay, full of worldly cynicism and twinkly-eyed charm, a film about illusions with apparently no illusions of its own, but one that conceals a wintry sadness about Welles's life...

...it's engaging and fun, and it's astonishing how easily Welles spins a movie out of next to nothing.

F for Fake is one of the more wistfully humorous of Welles's wrestlings with reality.

...it's arguably Welles most superficially enjoyable film...
