Merchants of Doubt; An Honest Liar
In its advocacy of skeptical thinking, An Honest Liar dovetails neatly, if accidentally, with Merchants of Doubt.
By Joe Morgenstern • • 3m ListenMerchants of Doubt makes no bones about being a polemic. Robert Kenner’s provocative and entertaining documentary means to make people angry and to make them think.
An Honest Liar deserves to be seen, and admired, for its own revelations, and for its unlikely, yet deeply affecting, transformation into a story of abiding love that, in its own turn, involves a deception.
