Kixott Movie Nights: Heavenly Creatures

By turns beautiful and unsettling, what is ostensibly a ‘true crime’ story doubles up as a meditation on coming-of-age and female friendship, co-written with Jackson’s partner and frequent collaborator Fran Walsh.

Winslet’s skyrocketing career needs no introduction, of course, and Lynskey’s own renaissance in the public eye post-Yellojackets has also been inspiring to observe. But the seeds of their creative talents — and of pretty much everyone involved in this unique tonal mix of a movie — can be found here.

So grab a drink and loosen yourself up for a journey rife with shocks, giggles and tears… just remember there will be plenty more where those came from should you need them.
