Documentary The bizarre untold truth behind the greatest con in music history - Milli Vanilli.

	Media	Author	Review
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[It] brings off something at once strategic, artful, and humane: It presents what happened to Milli Vanilli so that we empathize directly with these two young men who were drawn, like sacrificial virgins, into the pop maelstrom."
		Martin Tsai The Wrap	"[It] is well-researched and polished, even if it’s essentially a feature-length episode of “Behind the Music.”
		Chris Azzopardi The New York Times	"Luke Korem’s documentary retraces the manufactured pop duo’s rise and fall, while asking pertinent questions about the price of stardom."
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] poses intriguing questions that it never satisfyingly answers"
		Courtney Small Exclaim!	"Capturing the heavy price that comes with an addiction to fame, Milli Vanilli offers a cautionary tale that recontextualizes a band that few really knew"
		Christy Lemire rogerebert.com	"Korem doesn’t uncover too much that’s new, but more than three decades later, he gives key players the opportunity to share their memories and perspectives (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Johnny Loftus Decider	"Ultimately it’s not a story simply about lip-synching and how not to get caught doing it. Rather, this doc wonders where a pop star really exists"
