I wish I could say I liked 'Heavenly Creatures' more than I did. It's well-made and well-acted, with strong debut performances from the two young stars Melanie Lynsky and of course Kate Winslet. But the story and characters just didn't appeal to me. The frighteningly intense, passionate friendship between the girls could probably only arise in ones so young. Maybe I'm just too old to appreciate it. The fantasy sequences weren't my cup of tea either. It's easy to see, though, how this movie could be a favorite of some. But it's definitely not for everybody.
