I tried not to let this effect my rating but it was overwhelming. The fact that this is true, and is apparently written in Pauline's own words made me strain even more. I understand that they're supposed to feel crazy, but I was just waiting for Juliet to die from illness and then for Pauline to hang herself. The two were annoying and I had difficulties watching their two moronic lives take account.
One thing that seems to be hailed above all in this film is the performances. I felt that they exaggerated facial expressions at times, and didn't always feel professionalized. The acting wasn't bad, but I don't think it's above average. The film did well in creating tension, making it rarely dry.
Even though one can argue the climax begins towards the last thirty minutes, I found it all equally engaging. The opening was creative, and automatically set this eerie tone. With Peter Jackson LoTR focusing purely on the two girls, and occasionally the family, this film brought out a feeling of isolation, without setting it in a deserted area.
The film has its talents, but left a bitter taste on my mouth. My rating is biased, but it is mine after all. Daniel D Super Reviewer. Nov 26, One of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen. I wouldn't say it was "good" and I didn't particularly enjoy it. I felt both Winslet and Lynskey overacted their parts, which was annoying at times. The story is told primarily by Pauline, through her diary.
She and Juliet meet in high school and are immediately attracted to each other. This unhealthy relationship between two psychologically disturbed girls ends in deadly tragedy.
