It’s another episode where opinion is split between the Queer Girl Film Club crew. G didn’t like 1994’s New Zealand crime drama ‘Heavenly Creatures’ and she wants to hear from Alice and Holly about why they did like it… not that Alice and Holly can agree on a very fundamental question: is this film even lesbian?
Along the way they discuss the HUGE names involved in this film (pre-Lord Of The Rings Peter Jackson giving film debuts to Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey!), intense teenage friendships, the oppressive nature of 1950s colonial life, and bad parenting. We’re trying not to be a true crime podcast.
CN: Spoilers, swearing, discussion of murder.
