A Menina que Matou os Pais

Real life crimes aren't as well explored in Brazilian cinema as they could be. Which is why I think the idea to dramatize a famous crime was a perfectly valid attempt. And some of the details shown are very interesting, The choices made, though, fell flat in an attempt to maybe try a new formula. The choices I refer to are skipping the whole police investigation, not making any attempt to build up suspense and straight up spoiling all the facts to the audience in the first 5 minutes. The two-part movie was made with the only purpose of making a point that the testimonies of two perpetrators are conflicting in a few key points. The result is that the two parts are mostly redundant and feel like you're watching two slightly different cuts of the same movie. The conflicting testimonies aren't a strong enough premise to revolve the whole project around, and could be clearly shown to the audience in maybe 10 minutes in the third act. The events the movies are based on happened almost 20 years ago, but the script just assumes that it's useless to make a compelling narrative because everyone already knows how it ends. A sad waste of potential.

The guy'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.

Been told before, both as bios and in documentaries, girl hate mum and dad, and drives boyfriend into a hateful rage of anger towards his girlfriends parents, who takes the blowjob blowing their heads into salami.

Its average acted, the court settings seems very artificial, and the build up seems to me far too big, what about the aftermath?, did they call themselves in, did they flee on a busy bee.? What about the little brother...

well its a time filler for you that likes true crime dramas, and understanding the portugese language is an upperhand. So just a 6 from the grumpy old man, abla no portugese.

The actors did a good job, but the storyline is a bit boring at times.

Also, I thought they would go through the murder itself and what happened after that, since it is when the psychopathy of Suzanne is more evident, but they didn't explore that much.

All in all, not an exciting movie.

Exepctation was high! A intriguing crime that shook the midia. A privileged daughter who kills her parents. I've red somewhere here that watching the movie, it felt like it was fake. Sure did! Fake dialogs, fake scenes, fake situations, typical movie made by who doesn't know how to tell stories. It's lke that all actors got together and decided to make a movie in the night before, very poor drama. And what about 2 films about pratically the same narrative. Similar and often same takes used to tell the story. At least, with just one movie with 2 visions could earn an extra star.
