Review of Heavenly Creatures (1994) by Brandon W — 03 Mar 2016

Heavenly Creatures is the first film that's pre-Lord of the Rings for Peter Jackson that I watched, and I was curious to see what his style is for this movie, which after watching it, I had a pretty great time with it.

First time actresses Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey are terrific in it and it's nice to see them be well known, given with their movie career that is. The writing is very well done as they know how to make a good relationship while still being creative with it.

The effects look really good which are cool to see human clay forms. The story is great, and it does show why they did that and is very understandable to follow. The characters are memorable that you actually want the two main girls to make it work with their parents, until they go too far.

Heavenly Creatures is a terrific movie that makes me hope that Peter Jackson goes back to films like this and his other past films after the Hobbit Trilogy.
