      Audience Member This movie was crazy. This cougar takes harassment to another level. This movie was crazy. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie might have been bearable as purely a work of fiction. However, it was based on a murder committed by a pedophile, who seduced and killed the two victims. In fact, he assaulted the daughter at their final picnic before stabbing her through the heart. To have a movie portray this as not only a vehicle for a heroic young man as victim, but as a "dark comedy" is unconscionable. It would have worked much better as a close-to-the-facts drama. Surely the real story was strange enough. Horrible. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A very crazy and unusual romp through '50s England. Take a look and be astonished at where the film takes viewers. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
