The Dead Girl

Toni Colette, Marcia Gay Hardin   d/ Karen Moncrieff

Powerful film told in five chapters. Each chapter is independent from the others and each shows the effect of a young woman's murder on various people her life touched. The last gives us the last night of her sad life.

Remarkable cast which included Mary Steenbergen, Giovanni Ribisi, Piper Laurie and many others. Episodic format gave the viewer a full picture of the emotional ripples such a cruel event has. Many of the performances here were wrenching and painful to watch but all were true to life and easily worth the effort it took to get through it.
