This upbeat documentary centers on an unbelievable real-life hoax that took place in Scotland in the mid 1990s, it also captures a feeling that’s far more relatable: The fun of gathering all your old friends together to discuss the wildest thing that happened during your time at school. Only in this case, the wildest thing to happen at Bearsden Academy was enough to garner national attention — and the interest of one burgeoning movie star.
It’s a decision made partially out of necessity and partially as a stylistic choice. The nuts and bolts of this story could fairly easily be condensed into a 10-minute news report, but director Jono McLeod leans into the quirky, surreal side of this quirky, surreal tale.
Instead, befitting his own role in this peculiar story, McLeod is more interested in the wider school ecosystem around Lee and the way the students of Bearsden Academy viewed their unusual classmate — both before and after the truth came out. The film sparkles based on the charming chemistry of its talking head interviews, where old school friends, now in their mid 40s, are paired together to collectively recount details of the past.
