Review of Evil Angels (1988) by Dominic S — 30 May 2013

This is one of those reviews that make me think that this film was a simple yet exceptionally thorough and well-put together film.

Meryl Streep did a perfect job at her Australian accent; I am not surprised that she got it down and that she performed her real life character of Lindy Chamberlain well.

I would be surprised if Meryl did not receive an Oscar nomination. Not only is she Meryl Streep (lol I love her) but she played a distraught character with a foreign accent, we all know what happened when she played the same type of character six years earlier.

Another aspect of this film I deeply admire, even though I shouldn't because I plan on becoming a journalist someday, is the image of crazy, hungry paparazzi, photographers, and journalists.

This case was known as the most talked about case in Australia, mostly because it was the first time this type of tragedy ever happened and the journalists knew the public would eat the news up if the journalists would, as Rebel Wilson said, spread that shit like Nutella.

I love how the last shot in the film was actually of the crazy journalists trying to talk to the Chamberlains.

Overall, this film was outstanding and it made me cry.

A Cry In The Dark, I give you an 80%.
