The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things

The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things gets a great review at Eonline.
With her directorial follow-up to Scarlet Diva, Asia Argento proves herself no fluke and an important counterculture filmmaker. Adapted from the semiautobiographical novel by JT LeRoy, who turned out to be the fictional creation of his ostensible housemate Laura Albert, it’s the tale of young Jeremiah (initially played by Jimmy Bennett, then Cole Sprouse and Dylan Sprouse), a boy reclaimed from loving foster parents by his irresponsible birth mother Sarah (Argento).
