I'll tell you why so serious

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This must be one of the most underrated films of all time. I first saw this in 1997 after seeing Heavenly Creatures, a film which many critics have found superior to Fun. However, I found Fun far more impressive than Heavenly Creatures. The acting, camera-work and score are on target. Moving between black and white camera-work to signify the present predicament of its two protagonists, Hilary (Alicia Witt) and Bonnie (Renée Humphrey) in a detention center, and lurid color (the past), the film expertly entangles the viewer in the labyrinthine world of these two murderers. The director manages to portray both girls sympathetically at times only to pull the rug towards the end where the horrific murder is shown. The anti-linear structure is quite ingenious because it never allows the audience to feel superior or all-knowing in our view of the girls. But the horrific reality of the murder makes us question what we have already seen. This is by far Rafal Zielinski best work and proof he could rise above the lowbrow trash he made in the 80s.

I could not get into this film, which bothered me as the two young actresses playing the leads were extraordinarily good. However, the whole flashback structure required the story to be told to two supporting actors in 'current' time, neither of whom seem like they have any acting chops whatsoever. "Jane" and "John" are such caricatures that any scene involving them feels incredibly false. The flashback sequences are excellent -- except for the victim, who is also a terrible actress -- and those are compelling enough to make the film worth a look. I gave it a 5. Shame on either the producer or the director for the casting decisions involved. Alicia Witt is especially good in this.If you want to see the same theme dramatized much more effectively, see "Heavenly Creatures".

I saw this film a while back and parts of the film stick in my mind...i wish i could see it again but its real hard to find. I had to call a bunch of places for this movie.The film is basically about two girl who meet up one day and later kill someone...thats all said in the beginning so i am not giving anything away...I think it has a great performance by Alicia Witt (she will be better know in the future ..Mark my words) and renee humphrey...its in black and white, And basically its about friendship and being a little crazy..i say see the film, is worth it, if you can find it...the picture on the video cover of this film is cool..its alicia witt with a bunch of blood on her face..any picture like that is cool with me!

I really enjoyed this movie for a multitude of reasons. The best reason for watching this movie is the fact that it raises so many questions. After I saw it for the first time I wanted to watch it again, because I wanted to try to better understand the characters. I wanted to know why, and also why not.I also thought the acting done by René Humphrey and Alicia Witt was phenomenal. These two really made the roles believable, one thinks that the characters are real. I was truly impressed.Finally I liked the use of black & white, and colour. It helped me see how the characters felt, especially at the end. on a scale of 1(bad) to 10(good), I give it a 15.
