Christina Reviews *Heavenly Creatures*

          When Juliette Hulme (Kate Winslet) moves to a new school, she makes friends with Pauline Parker (Melanie Lynskey).  The two girls become fast friends, and before long, they are doing everything together.  When people around them begin to believe that the relationship may be unhealthy, they start to panic.  Their love for each other borders on obsession.  They come up with a plan so devious that it will change their lives forever.  I cannot say much more about this devious plan without spoiling the ending.

          This is a true story.  The movie was inspired by horrifying events in the life of fiction writer Anne Perry. 

           I thought that this was a very good Peter Jackson movie.  I don’t have much to say about it because I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it.  It was just a very well-crafted and well-acted film.
