This film really deserves much more than the scarce attention (half-hearted distribution?) it's received; and the only other review currently here really doesn't do justice to its specific strengths.
Apart from top-tier cinematography - even avoiding some of the over-production of Perrin & Cluzaud's (admittedly stunning) Oceans http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0765128/ - what's special about this film is how it's been written, so both the way the story unfolds visually, and the narrating commentary. It's unusual to find a film that shows such attention to its poetic framing, and in this case, especially because it's ostensibly still just a documentary, your involvement is that much greater.
So: this subtly crafted documentary absolutely possesses a special je-ne-sais-quoi, and was a memorable joy to watch together with our young kids. It's a real shame the distribution hasn't been up to scratch.

It's a film that leaves pretty speechless. The director weaves subtle poetry into a story that is especially shocking because we all know that events that seem so impossible were (and are) tragically true. It's also interesting to read about Bechis' approach and working method (i.e. studio recreation of the "garage" rather than working in a location, use of "real" props, etc.).
I happened to see this on late night swiss TV(!); as far as I'm aware it was never released in Europe, where it would surely strike a note. Anyway: beautiful in every respect, true poetry in the photography and styling, the two girls are spellbinding, the whole thing is magical. Complimenti to R. Miller - eagerly awaitng your next movie.
