Lack of supporting talent kills it

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".

Great acting!

Alicia Witt is a great actress, in my opinion. This movie brought back the nostalgia of my teenage youth. I remember what it was like being a mischief back in my years. The ending is not typical Hollywood, and I definitely recommend it!

what happened to the girls in real life?

I liked the film and I may know something that many of the other commentators don't know. The film had the standard disclosure at the end noting that any similarity to actual events is coincidental. But it was anything but coincidence. The actual event happened around 20 years ago in Auburn, California. After knocking on numerous doors, the two teenage girls literally talked their way into an elderly woman's home and killed her. And one of the girls wrote in her dairy "we killed an old woman today and it was lots of fun". The girls were sent to the California Youth Authority where they could have been held until their 25th birthday. One of the two girls continued to make the news by fighting with the woman guards and telling them she would come back to get them after she got out. But does anyone know if the two girls went on to live productive lives after finally getting out as adults??

A good flick

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!

Well acted; Provocative and Ultimately Disturbing.

This film just blew me away. The tale of two teenage girls who are devoted to each other and conspire to murder an elderly woman was chilling.

The presentation of the film was realistic and honest. It's use of flashbacks and black and white photography, gave the film a stark and detached feel, yet enabled us to emphasise with the main protaganists, authority figures and victims.

The acting by the two leads; Alicia Witt and Renee Humpherey was superb, thoroughly deserving of the joint best actress award they won at the 1994 Sundance Film Festival. An extrordinary representation of todays lost and misguided youth, in a society that is floundering in it's own judgements; beliefs and failure to acknowledge the truth. 9/10.

Anecdotes
This film was based on the real life events of two teenage girls in 1983 who killed an elderly woman in Auburn, California after they had just met for the first time at school and cut classes to go on a irresponsible spree leading up to the murder... all over the course of one afternoon.

John: Meanwhile, I think the story's coming along pretty well.
Hillary: I don't give a shit about your story!
John: Why?... You could be helping a lot of other girls. Did you ever think about that?
Hillary: It doesn't matter what happens to us. People who shit on their kids are not gonna' stop. Something makes them do it. Everybody knows it's wrong, but they do it anyway... And I'm not unhappy. You know, even in here, sometimes I laugh so hard I... I can't stop.
John: Doesn't mean you're happy. There're a lot of different kinds of laughter.
Hillary: [Looks off into the distance] Yeah, I like the kind at the ocean... when a giant wave comes pounding down on you, and you think it's gonna' crush you, but then it breaks and comes down and sends you crashing to the sand... that's when you get up and laugh. That's the kind of laugh that makes you know you're alive.
Hillary: [fidgeting slightly] You know, it's like cavemen. I bet nobody ever had to remind them that they were alive. Every day they killed for food, or they starved, or they froze to death... but, I swear to God, I'm sure they laughed a lot better than most people today do.
