An amazing piece of cinematography... Some really wonderful scenes, especially those with the made-up world and the clay figures. Quite an imaginative film. And the character development was engaging.
This is a truly astonishing piece of work. Jackson proves once again that he's a real visionary.
Que trabajo magnífico de Jackson. El aspecto visual y rítmico de la película me ganó por completo, y la perversidad detrás del mundo mágico de estas dos niñas terminó por enamorarme. Quien diría que las Lynskey acabaría en Two and a Half Men. Su talento da para mucho, mucho más. Winslet impecable. All in all una película excelente.
Yeah, i'm still waiting Peter Jackson to forget CGI and make another sensible & beautiful film like this!
It is hard to believe that the same person who made this movie also made the sonolent Lord of the Rings and the awful The lovely bones. Heavenly Creatures was a fluke in his carerr.
An exceptional film about friendship and the power of love. I'm not kidding. Yeah, it also involves a murder but the important part is the friendship. The really bizarre part is that it's based on a true story. Plus, there's a plasticine Mario Lanza. My favorite Peter Jackson film ever.
I thought it captured the course of a young, imaginative friendship gone completely off kilter rather well. A cinematic folie-a-deux whose result still stuns me every time I watch this film.
What is most incredible about Jackson's portrayal of the events is that he neither exonerates nor demonizes its characters. One can see the events the lead to the crime and its tragic aftermath and feel empathy for the girls and yet still find them absolutely responsible for their actions. Well deserved Oscar nod. Could easily be argued to be Peter Jackson's best film.
