i don't know if it's 'cause this happened in my hometown, but it'll always be one of my favourite films.
The expressions in the editing and obviously the cinematography as well as that god damn score met with like near fucking perfect harmony. The acting did the same thing. But that editing. The choices made in terms of mashing scenes together so violently was incredible. A damn wonderful editing. oh. Oh.
Just saw this again. So perfect. It's strange to think this isn't the best film of the filmmaker who made it considering just how great it is. The cinematography is glorious and the ending beyond moving.
Just had a wonderful reunion with Jackson's "Heavenly Creatures". A rather disturbing film about two emotionally unstable girls, bound by a fascination for the macabre. It’s visually stunning, and the contrast between the actual story and their dream world is masterfully balanced and developed through out the film. Five stars and thumbs up for this heavenly film!
Juliet is now a semi-obscure LDS fiction writer named Anne Perry. Pauline lives as a recluse in Scotland. They never met again. I wish Jackson could make another movie like this again. It's so intimate and beautiful, and there's just something hypnotic and fascinating about it. It isn't perfect, but damn, is it engaging.
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.
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.
