Elize Matsunaga: Era uma Vez um Crime

It's an interesting crime, but I found the direction very off putting, the focus always somehow seemed to be in the wrong area, we never seemed to get answers to any of the relevant questions.

I was interested to learn about some of Brazil's legal system, including the week out of Prison, that was fascinating.

Overall, I felt it was too long, they milked every single drop out of the story, it seemed never ending. If you're watching the English dubbed version as I did, do you agree that the voice overs all sound too cheerful?

Interesting story, slow production, 6/10.

It's a bit unsettling to watch the killer herself talking about the crime for the documentary though it is intriguing at the same time.

Although it could have had one less episode like every other crime series of Netflix, it leaves you wondering if Elize is a cold-blooded murder or committed a crime of passion.

I don't agree that is biased to Elize. Of course it is going to feel this way because it's centered in her narrative. On the other hand they show the investigator, prosecutor and the victim's family and friends talking.

It's up to the viewer form their own conclusion.

I am Brazilian, I can't understand why ??? She is a cold murder,There's no excuses for the crime, the worst part is show to the world that in my country they can leave the prison many times in a year. There is no Life in prison here.

While the crime committed was interesting, the documentary focused on the wrong topics and was too slow. None of the investigators were interviewed and the focus instead lied on the mental state of the killer. Most interviews were of reporters and prosecutors giving their opinions. Not sure what the point of this documentary was.

This woman is disturbing. Her and Marcos are both flawed, that's why they were together. He had an esteem issue, and she had many too count. Evil woman, who enjoys harm onto others. The way she laughed when she put that poor little mouse in that plastic tub with that snake shows how sadistic and evil she is. Calculating, cold and manipulating. She should have been an actress. Her tone of voice drove me nuts during this documentary.
