"3/5 experience for me personally, but the movie is very well done and deserves 4 stars.
I love the casting, the humor, and the general vibe the movie brings. The way it's directed as an interview style program is very well done. You really come to like the town of Carthage.
It started off super strong, then suddenly turned for me and never caught its footing after that point. "

"An interesting film. It starts as a comedy but it’s not that, despite the humor thrown in.
So if you’re seeking a fun sweet movie, it is not.

I think this movie was odd, the same as the real case. And I’m left feeling very uneasy as to how I should feel? I think that might have been the intention the movie was trying to portray. However, finding humor in a real murder is difficult, despite the “unlikability” of the victim vs the contrasting “lovable”perpetrator.
Not sure how to rate. It’s a great production? And this was a story I think, deserved a real audience. I just really hate rooting for a murder even after finding out? I feel that’s disrespectful to the loss of life. "
