Heavenly Creatures (1994)
Directed by Peter Jackson, rated R, 99 minutes

Heavenly Creatures is a shocking and stunningly beautiful true crime film about two young girls with an extremely close relationship, who are always daydreaming about a fantasy world, which makes their parents want to separate them - an idea they don't go for. Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey are both unbelievably convincing and subtly disturbing in the lead roles, and both of their characters are strangely likable. Director Peter Jackson creates some truly memorable visuals in scenes that will haunt you, and the cinematography is absolutely spot on. Heavenly Creatures above all tells a compelling and startling story in a realistic but artful way. You'll like it if: You like true crime stories, films set in the 50's, 90's cinema, Monster, Boys Don't Cry or In Cold Blood.
