Review of Fun

Fun (1994)
10/10
Not all films give you the ending you are looking for
9 March 1999
The film is split between flashbacks of a certain day and black and white scenes of the two girls in a detention centre. By seeing this we know the girls have committed a crime and we watch to find out what they did. We find out that the two girls never knew each other before the day they did what they did. They were loners who had never really had a friend before and they just connected. On this day the girls knocked on an old woman's door saying that one of them was ill and they needed to use the phone. Then they killed the old woman. They went back to one of the girls' houses and discussed doing it again the next day, as no one could ever know who killed the old lady. They get caught and don't have the chance to commit another crime. In the detention centre the girls are being kept apart because they bring out the worst in each other but by now they love each other and can't live without each other.

The film is very similar to the excellent `Heavenly Creatures' but deserves to be recognised in its own light. I rate it 10/10.
