YES! a movie by Peter Jackson that is worth the time it takes to see it! Pauline and Juliet are two schoolgirls with a vivid imagination. They inhabit their fantasy world and thus the real life becomes more and more repugnant. The grown-ups want to expel them from their home-made heaven. Especially Pauline's mother becomes gradually their main adverser. So they decide to kill her.
All thsi is based on a real story that happened in the beginning of the 1950s in New Zealand. It seems that the juvenile murderers still are alive, one even became a writer. Before the credits we are put into the picture about the trial - the later lives of the girls are not mentioned.
I liked how Jackson blended reality with the fantasy creations of the girls, they appear as overlapping reality. (Oh - if Jackson never had touched the Tolkin world and had stuck to movies of this kind, then he might have become an instructor whose output is worth to follow Wasted talent.
Solid entertainment : 6/10.
