Our take

Originally intended as Martin Scorsese’s debut, this ripped-from-the-headlines thriller draws on the real-life story of a murderous couple known as the “Lonely Hearts Killers.” An eerily unsentimental cult classic, The Honeymoon Killers was cited by François Truffaut as his favorite American film.
