 I'll be in therapy forever November 25, 2008
I only gave this a great rating because it is a real depiction of sadism, evil and I hope it saves other girls from someone like this.
I've been through a rough relationship with a Paul type. It was three years of hell mixed in with intense passion just to keep me attached and desperate. Men like him know weaknesses and play on them. I had family issues, abuse at home, issues with my parents. Men like this look for girls that are vulnerable, needy and craving love.
Men like this are not wired right. I was only 15 at that time and now in my late 30's I can't believe I was so naive.
I'll be in therapy forever.
 OK for a Hollywood-version of Karla Homolka November 17, 2008
First, it was tough for me to watch this. Not because of the subject matter but because I actually knew Karla. Growing up in St. Catharines and going to the same high school as Karla and her sisters did, and living literally a three minute walk from where Kristen French was abducted, it's hard to get past the differences in what was filmed to what happened in reality.
Overall, the acting is fine and Laura Prepon does a good job, but it was stylized just a bit too much and a bit too far removed to accurately represent the area where everything took place. For viewers who weren't too close to the action it won't be an issue.
Good for a Saturday night rental if you're interested in True Crime.
Acurate Film With Inredibly Good Acting November 14, 2008
This film is a keeper. It is disturbing, but those who already knew the tale of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka already knew it would be. The film was extremely accurate and the actors played their roles flawlessly. The only thing that kept me from giving this movie 5/5 is that fact that Karla is somewhat viewed as a victim of Paul. She is as guilty as he is. She was no victim.
 Not bad....not close to great though October 24, 2008
Not much to say about it. Those looking for a lot of skin/etc. will be disappointed. Seems like decent performances by the two leads (I really had contempt for the male lead, and was infuriated by the passive acceptance of Laura Prepon's title character) were done in by poor writing and nonexistant supporting cast. Sort of makes me think someone lost a bet and had to be in the flick in the first place, as I certainly think Prepon at this stage in her career can do better than this.
Excellent Portrayal of Two Sick People Who Find Each Other August 10, 2008
The story could have been presented without the pointless plot device of "telling her story all over again" to a prison psychiatrist. Subtract two stars for that. The main reason to see this film is the surprisingly good performance by Laura Prepon. I can see her career being an effective mix of comedy and disconcerting serious roles (a pattern of film choices similar to Robin Williams').
