I had no clue of the book, or Frey being a Fraud or whatever you want to call it, Frey should of came right out and said it was "Loosly Based" on his life. So with that in mind I would suggest going back and rereading it as a fiction rather then a memoir. So as I never heard of the book I viewed this movie as a fictional movie, I can tell you it is well done, the directors producers and everyone at the helm of this movie had a clear vision of what they wanted to portray both visually and symbolically and they executed flawlessly. Highly recommend
