An Honest Liar (2014)

a documentary on James Randi

(NOTE:  This is my 102nd review on Netflix)



This documentary provides entertainment by using truth. While a few of the individuals whom James Randi had exposed may argue that point, no one can deny the honesty concerning the personal revelations by Mr. Randi. The direction and editing of this film never caused any interview or scene to become overlong or boring. Documentaries can be preachy or boring. This film was neither. Stay for all the credits. There is a personal note from Deyvi and James Randi. At 0:15 there is an amusingly ironic comment which perfectly complements this film. SPOILER: So happy that Mr. Randi was able to marry his long time partner Deyvi. Perhaps that will allow Deyvi to remain in this country.
