“Hoax: The True Story Of The Kidnapping Of Sherri Papini” (** out of four) was a hollow melodrama based on the true story of Sherri Papini (Jaime King) who disappeared for 3 weeks and then re-appeared and claimed she was abducted and abused by 2 women but there were immediate suspicions and doubts on the story which led to her later admitting she lied and orchestrated it all in a hoax. Interesting story based on actual events but Papini’s character motivations remain muddy and as a result film never fully grabs you as a whole. Feature film debut from director Marta Borowski who obviously watched “Gone Girl” a few times before filming this.
