"Assembled from over 100 hours of home movies shot by an unknown man of his family over a period of seven years and uploaded to YouTube, Fraud is ... a found footage thriller ... that reveals one family's struggle for the American Dream and the nature of truth in the Internet age. While on YouTube one day, filmmaker Dean Fleischer-Camp came upon a trove of home videos documenting the ubiquitous activities of an unknown American family: birthday parties, trips to the mall, resort vacations. In this material however, he discovers a sensational story worthy of a pulp crime novel. Drowning in debt but driven by an insatiable hunger for material wealth and instant gratification (the new iPhone!), a middle-class family concocts a plot to maintain their unsustainable lifestyle, even if it means embarking on a desperate cross-country crime spree. Employing extraordinary cinematic sleight of hand, from subtle visual juxtapositions, minute re-framings and the implied authority of date stamps, among a multitude of other techniques, Fleischer-Camp fashions a bold, of-the-moment vision of American society."--Container.
