Perfect Sisters

This movie is based on the true story of "The Bathtub Girls", a pair of Canadian sisters who murdered their alcoholic mother by drowning her in the bathtub. And got away with it. Until they, being teenage morons, bragged about the murder. This movie is basically a Lifetime movie but with profanity. Very low budget, very "small" in feel. The director makes some interesting choices that simply don't work - lots of imaginary stuff, dream sequences and the like. What we end up with is a very shallow retelling of the story and a movie that's pretty darn empty. Some fine performances from the cast, but this one simply isn't very good. 3/10.
