Review of Heavenly Creatures (1994) by Shelly L — 19 Jul 2009
Wonderfully imaginative and impressive film that Peter Jackson ever made in this based on a true story of two girls' fantasy life. Visually, this movie is stunning. The landscape of Christchurch and the surrounding area is beautiful, and adds a sense of authenticity to the film. The voice overs are extracts from the real Pauline Parker's diary, and explain very well what exactly is going on inside of her head.
Melanie Lynskey delivers a brave performance - giddy, childish, frightening, sexual, clouded. She's everything Christina Ricci pretends to be. Kate Winslet is superb as Juliet - beautiful, hyper-bright and wonderful.
