A fairly absorbing coming-of-age/true crime tale filled with imaginative direction and a consistent narrative point-of-view. Even though the audience knows the murder is coming the whole time, it's still a rather shocking, horrific scene. Kate Winslet shines in her screen debut and Melanie Lynskey is very believable as an impressionable, young girl who does the unthinkable (and I recognized her from "The L Word"!)
This film reinstates my faith in Peter Jackson's directorial prowess (after the masterbatory LOTR series) and makes me look forward to what he'll end up doing with The Lovely Bones, another story that is both fantastical yet brutal in its depiction of adolescence and violence.
