Funny when these hicks try to make us be live that they did not be live him.. the only person in that family who KNEW was the killer - @Tuesday, March 20, 2018 4:10 PM

I found myself laughing at certain parts of this documentary with his awful disguises. It took me out when he showed up to the airport with his face wrapped up and sunglasses 😂. This guy is the epitome of ass hole but the family is worse - @Wednesday, February 7, 2018 10:54 PM

So about the yard, it ended on a cliff hanger. I need answers. - @Thursday, January 4, 2018 11:45 PM

It’s crazy to think that someone could have watched this movie knowing what actually happened to Nicholas. I think it was Jason. - @Sunday, December 31, 2017 11:23 PM

What i got from this documentary is that no matter how batshit crazy a guy is, he will always find a woman to marry him and have kids. Hell, even Van der Sloot found a wife in jail after being convicted of murder, and he has a kid too 🙄 - @Tuesday, December 19, 2017 2:40 PM

And he has an accent, brown eyes, when the boy originally has blue, hair obviously doesn't look naturally blonde.. they didn't question that. Should be able to know instantly that the person they saw or met was not their brother/son. Jus so willing to accept him and not question anything - @Sunday, December 17, 2017 11:42 AM

Such a good documentary! I was so convinced that the family was behind the disappearance of the boy. But at the same time they also didn't wanna believe that this person wasn't who they so badly wanted him to be. They couldn't and did not want to believe that he wasn't their beloved family member who has been missing for quite some time, only to turn up out of nowhere. Being contacted by the police and everything. Why would you question it. You'd just wanna see them, believe the police have finally located him. But no. This guy lied. The police failed this family. BUT at the same time. It's creepy. IDK WHAT TO THINK. Also the brother saying, "good luck" Like W T F - @Sunday, December 17, 2017 11:34 AM

REMEMBER...Why he vanished is a mystery,...David Paulides, Missing 411,Watch listen to missing persons pattern...... Nicolas walked alone at night on a 2 mile yomp through path dark and lonely. The family are innocent in my opinion. - @Wednesday, October 4, 2017 9:54 PM

I think the family killed him. - @Saturday, June 24, 2017 9:00 PM

If you have suspicions about the family, you've been conned twice. Once by Frédéric Bourdin, and once again by the director. That's how you create a buzz and get viewership. Great film making. - @Saturday, January 21, 2017 5:17 AM

This was insane! I had to double check twice that it was an actual documentary and not a fictional story, so crazy. - @Saturday, March 5, 2016 7:08 PM

i loved this movie, it's crazy to think that this is a directorial debut because it's so amazingly filmed. this guy is so creepy and he is so smart the way he did it, but by the end of the movie i was left more suspicious of the family he lied to - @Monday, March 16, 2015 6:04 PM

The crazy thing about this documentary is that it chronicles one of the worlds biggest sociopathic liars, but at the end I'm more confused and disturbed by the "normal" family he conned. WTf ?? - @Tuesday, August 26, 2014 8:57 PM

Loved this at Sundance!! One of the best or at least most intriguing documentaries I've ever seen. It plays more like a mystery-thriller. See it!!! - @Thursday, February 23, 2012 4:30 AM
