The Girl Who Killed Her Parents, 2021, 80 minutes.

The Boy Who Killed My Parents, 2021, 87 minutes.

Both films are directed by Maurício Eça, with Ilana Casoy and Raphael Montes as screenwriters. In the cast, Carla Diaz (Suzane von Richthofen), Leonardo Bittencourt (Daniel Cravinhos), Allan Souza Lima (Cristian Cravinhos), Vera Zimmermann (Marísia von Richthofen), Leonardo Medeiros (Manfred von Richthofen), Augusto Madeira (Astrogildo Cravinhos), Debora Duboc (Nadja Cravinhos) and Kauan Ceglio (Andreas von Richthofen).

The films tell the same story, based on real events, especially those that appear in the testimonies of Suzane von Richthofen and Daniel Cravinhos in the lawsuits in which they were accused of killing Suzane's parents.

I first saw The Girl Who Killed Her Parents, which features Daniel Cravinhos' account of how it was used by Suzane during their relationship.

The Boy Who Killed My Parents, on the other hand, brings Suzane von Richthofen's version of how she was manipulated by Daniel until she got to the murder of her parents.

They accused the films of manicheans, but the judicial statements of the two accused were in this way, precisely a way to convince the Jury Court that the intellectual authorship of the crime was the other's and that he/she had been manipulated by him/her to participate in the murder.

In my opinion, for a better understanding of the whole story, it's best to watch The Boy Who Killed My Parents before The Girl Who Killed The Parents, the opposite of what I did, because it's easier to put together parts of the script that seem loose in The Girl. Perhaps, for this reason, I liked The Boy Who Killed My Parents more, as it is rounder and not as dependent on explanations as the other one. In fact, there was no need to make two films. Adding about twenty minutes more in one of them, reaching a duration of two hours, normal standard of a feature film, it was possible to show both versions of the same story.

I liked the interpretation of the two main actors, although it was not something spectacular.

The negative point, for me, is having placed the use of marijuana on the account of the articulator of the crime. In one film, it is Suzane who uses it, causing Daniel to also use it, in another, it is the opposite. I don't use marijuana, because I get sick, but to impute, even indirectly, the use of marijuana as molding the character of the killers is pushing the bar too far. It may even be that the screenwriters wanted to be faithful to the testimonies, who may have used it guided by their lawyers, since society is still conservative in relation to the topic, but as it is a work of fiction based on real events, they could have changed this addiction to another, heavier one that really significantly alters people's psychology.

Although also convicted, Cristian Cravinhos does not have his testimony portrayed in the film.

The girl's pov. Good thriller but it doesn't focus on the people but rather is more interested to give us a recap of the relationship of the perpetrators. I think a documentary on the incident would yield a better results.

I know Carla Diaz from her acting when she was still a kid and, later on, during her teenage times. I could never imagine such terrible acting and I am inclined to believe she was misguided by the direction and production to present such a poor acting. Actually, she is not the only one who did bad in the dialogs, making me even more certain that the director didn't know what he was doing. The movies are both boring and repetitive. Of course it should be repetitive since is the same story being told by two people, but they could save us some time to skip the same scenes. The dialogs are unnatural, far from feeling reality while watching. I could see all the time the actress playing instead of the character and I wouldn't recommend this waste of movie to anyone. Such a good idea for a movie based in true facts, great actors and such a terrible outcome. Costume crew, please find her a better wig! Sad sad sad.

Amazing idea to spread the movies by POV!

The movie was great! Carla Diaz did an outstanding job acting as Suzane! I remember when the crime happened and and it still intrigues me! I also think they could have focused at the trial that was epic and unique! It was a loss! BTW: My opinion the first movie is the better one!

It would be good if it would be better. It is just that.

This movie is very good, the cast worked very well, the script is also very good and the circumstance of the film is wonderful.

I loved watching it, this movie is very good, I recommend everyone to watch it.

The acting is really good, and the script is perfect.

Both movies are so great.

Carla Diaz and Leonardo Bittencourt and the rest of the cast rocked the performance.

Watching the sequence suggested, I am completely swayed, completely deceived by the version, and by the fantastic performance of Carla Diaz, pobi Suzane, manipulated good-hearted girl (SQN), who all sounds justifiable in Suzane's actions, very good production, simple and efficient, objective and convincing, let's go for another version, the real one, maybe...
