HBO doc about a fake high school, a real ESPN football game, and a scandal that ruined teens’ lives can’t help but get charmed by the scam artist at the center of it all
Indeed, it’s hard to grok who’s playing who here at times, and there seems to be two struggles going on in: the swindler vs. the swindled leading up to that fateful ESPN game, and the defensive guy with the double-down charm offensive vs. those behind the camera. That second stand-off leads to the doc’s most self-reflexively shameless moment, when the filmmakers force Johnson to watch footage of a tearful student talk about his disillusionment.
Still, if you wanted to get the scoop on the when, where and how the Bishop Sycamore scandal happened,is a good primer. The who of this story, however, takes precedent, and while you’re supposed to feel conflicted over how Johnson paved his own best-intentions road to hell, don’t blame yourself for feeling a little dirty over getting nudged into buying into what he’s selling.
