Deirdre O. @Dede0 Jun 19 A very thorough account of the arrest and trial of Christopher and Susan Edwards for the murder of her parents. It was a heinous crime by a couple so isolated and entwined that they seemed already imprisoned by their disfunction. The inclusion of cinematography reminiscent of the 50’s helped demonstrate how Susan and Chris lived with each other in their own world. Breaking the fourth wall, the director is able to show how the police try to invalidate what they perceive as rehursed testimonies. The final episode brilliantly parallels a spaghetti western with the trial. Very well done. See more Gargantua P. @Geulah26 Mar 25 Outstanding performances. Particularly brilliant describing two psychotic people and their bonding to each other. A Bonny and Clyde story of sorts. The angle of star memorabilia is quite unusual as crime motivation and so is the film's portrayal of their living in their fantasy world. A horrid, unbelievable true story strongly portrayed.

See more Andrew H @loafa Jan 2 They threw the cinematic sink at this one. Weird lenses, cuts to black and white, other chromatic shifts, flashbacks with both the same and different actors, cutaways to metaphorical dramatizations, breaking the fourth wall. One or two of these artistic decisions could have made it a masterpiece, but combined it's a distracting mess. It's a shame, because the performances were incredible, but couldn't power through the spasmodic directorial decisions. See more Alain E @AlainE Aug 30 An impressive construct. Personally, I am not very keen on the symbolism of the scenes in the wild West. All the cast is very good and Olivia Colman superb playing not a very nice person. I was impressed that the little girl that plays Colman’s character in childhood looks a lot like her. In American shows often there are some black characters that feel like they satisfy a quota system. Here the black attorney and the black detective are genuine people. There are many sequences in very nice black and white, although I cannot claim to have understood what was the symbolism of subtracting color. The story about Depardieu at the end was quite cute. The main lesson of the movie is: don’t murder your parents. But if you do, never come clean to any relatives.
