TIFF18 Review: JEREMIAH TERMINATOR LEROY (World Premiere) – Alexander Heller-Nicholas

October 1, 2018October 1, 2018 Alexandra Heller-Nicholas 0 Comments asia argento, jeremiah terminator leroy, jt leroy, justin kelly, Kristen Stewart, laura alpert, Laura Dern, Savannah Knoop, tiff18

In any other time, there surely couldn’t be a twisted lo-fi queer-leaning biopic co-starring Laura Dern and Kristen Stewart that could be anything less than a total smash hit. Individually, each actor has developed intensely devoted fan bases in both the general mainstream and simultaneously among cult film die-hards. Framed with that ever-alluring ‘based on a true story’ chestnut, Jeremiah Terminator LeRoy should be win-win. So this indie turn should be a slam dunk, and yet…these are far from ordinary times.
