The Armstrong Lie

...det är en korrupt värld vi leds in i och ju mer grävande som görs desto tydligare blir det att absolut allt kan köpas för pengar. Lögnen var inte bara Armstrongs.

...a fascinating film that points the finger at a charismatic master of deception — as well as our willingness to buy his deceit.

...Gibney's character study of Armstrong is tough and forensic.

In his typically fascinating and intelligent investigation, Gibney delves not only into Armstrong's near-pathological "arrogance" (...) but also his own seduction by his charismatic and forceful subject.

The lack of catharsis allows the viewer enough leeway to judge Armstrong for themselves, and that particular aspect of Gibney's film is much more fascinating than the arrogant-pillock-dopes-and-lies story.
