As always, my reviews are short and sweet and to the point, designed for people who, like me, know what they like. If you have a lot of patience for a slow set up, you might like this movie more than I did. I watched this movie because it was recommended to me and I had never heard of it, despite having worked in a video store and being a fan of both period pieces and true stories. While the actual true story involved is one that made me want to watch this movie, I am afraid the movie lost my interest fairly quickly. The set up of the characters and their relationships was slow and not very engaging. Secondly, the characters were written as goofy stereotypes rather than people who seemed real, and this did not work for me. One character was portrayed as so screechy and annoying, I hated every second she was on screen. I'm just not sure that was necessary to inflict upon the viewers. 50 minutes into this film, with no murder having happened, I decided to go to youtube instead to look for a documentary that would tell me what happened without making me suffer so much.
