O Menino Que Matou Meus Pais

It would be good if it would be better. It is just that.

The Girl Who Killed Her Parents, 2021, 80 minutes. The Boy Who Killed My Parents, 2021, 87 minutes. Both films are directed by Maurício Eça, with Ilana Casoy and Raphael Montes as screenwriters. In the cast, Carla Diaz (Suzane von Richthofen), Leonardo Bittencourt (Daniel Cravinhos), Allan Souza Lima (Cristian Cravinhos), Vera Zimmermann (Marísia von Richthofen), Leonardo Medeiros (Manfred von Richthofen), Augusto Madeira (Astrogildo Cravinhos), Debora Duboc (Nadja Cravinhos) and Kauan Ceglio (Andreas von Richthofen). The films tell the same story, based on real events, especially those that appear in the testimonies of Suzane von Richthofen and Daniel Cravinhos in the lawsuits in which they were accused of killing Suzane's parents. I first saw The Girl Who Killed Her Parents, which features Daniel Cravinhos' account of how it was used by Suzane during their relationship. The Boy Who Killed My Parents, on the other hand, brings Suzane von Richthofen's version of how she was manipulated by Daniel until she got to the murder of her parents. They accused the films of manicheans, but the judicial statements of the two accused were in this way, precisely a way to convince the Jury Court that the intellectual authorship of the crime was the other's and that he/she had been manipulated by him/her to participate in the murder. In my opinion, for a better understanding of the whole story, it's best to watch The Boy Who Killed My Parents before The Girl Who Killed The Parents, the opposite of what I did, because it's easier to put together parts of the script that seem loose in The Girl. Perhaps, for this reason, I liked The Boy Who Killed My Parents more, as it is rounder and not as dependent on explanations as the other one. In fact, there was no need to make two films. Adding about twenty minutes more in one of them, reaching a duration of two hours, normal standard of a feature film, it was possible to show both versions of the same story. I liked the interpretation of the two main actors, although it was not something spectacular. The negative point, for me, is having placed the use of marijuana on the account of the articulator of the crime. In one film, it is Suzane who uses it, causing Daniel to also use it, in another, it is the opposite. I don't use marijuana, because I get sick, but to impute, even indirectly, the use of marijuana as molding the character of the killers is pushing the bar too far. It may even be that the screenwriters wanted to be faithful to the testimonies, who may have used it guided by their lawyers, since society is still conservative in relation to the topic, but as it is a work of fiction based on real events, they could have changed this addiction to another, heavier one that really significantly alters people's psychology. Although also convicted, Cristian Cravinhos does not have his testimony portrayed in the film.

The girl's pov. Good thriller but it doesn't focus on the people but rather is more interested to give us a recap of the relationship of the perpetrators. I think a documentary on the incident would yield a better results.

Two movies starring the same cast about the murder of Manfred and Marisa Von Richthofen. Both movies are based on true events that occurred in Brazil on October 31, 2002. I have watched both movies so instead of writing two reviews, I am going to include both movies in one review. The first movie "The Boy Who Killed My Parents" is the retelling of the events leading up to the murders according to Suzane, the daughter of the Richthofen's played by Carla Diaz. Carla claims it was her boyfriend Daniel Cravinhos - (Leonardo Bittencourt) and his brother Christian- (Allan Souza Lima) who planned and carried out the murders. The second movie "The Girl Who Killed Her Parents" is based on the same premise with one difference. In this version, Daniel Cravinhos is retelling his version of the events leading up to the murder of his girlfriend's parents. Suzane Von Richthofen has a little brother Andreas, (Played by Kayan Ceglio) who in both movies was thrown in the middle of the events leading up to the murders. He was used by his sister to help defy the wishes of their parents who did not want Suzane to be with Daniel any more. I am not going to go into any detail as to what actually happened in either of these movies because to speak about one will also give away what happened in the other. These are not on the edge of your seat movies with people screaming and running for their lives. These are movies that keep you intrigued just by their storyline and wonderful acting. I would recommend them to anyone who enjoy movies that keeps you engaged for the script and nothing else. I gave both movies a rating of 7/10.

This movie is very good, I really enjoyed watching it, if you haven't watched it I recommend you to watch it.

I loved watching it, this movie is very good, I recommend everyone to watch it. The acting is really good, and the script is perfect. Both movies are so great. Carla Diaz and Leonardo Bittencourt and the rest of the cast rocked the performance.

We all wonder what happened in the days before and after the crime. We all wonder what kind of psycho is suzane why she committed this awfull crime??? No questions were answered by watching this movie. The acting is too fake, the actress portraits suzane almost as a drug addict going through a crisis. Why all the sex scenes? We wanted to have a look in the investigation and the details of the day of the murder. All we had was another romance story and besides we have to watch two movies to get to a conclusion? I have so many unanswered questions. Did suzane have friends? What did the people on their surrounding say about the crime? Did they have employees? Relatives that had any idea of what was going on? What happens between the day of the murder and their trial date? We dont even see the popular image of all of them (andrea, suzane and daniel) in the funeral?! What a great opportunity of a movie we had but this is just not it.

The Boy who killed my parents ? More like. My boyfriend and I killed my parents. Because were 3 people evolved, The daughter, boyfriend and the friend of both! All because of money, premeditated murder ! The movie is a lie!

This film is intense and shows how the same story can have so many versions. But in the end, for those who remember the time the crime took place, it is obvious to know what is true or false. One of the most impressive things about the film is the performance of actress Carla Diaz, who plays Suzane. It's clear her talent and how she studied for this role. She's just amazing, she's terrifying when she needs to be, you can see how intense she can be without looking fake, instead you believe 100% in her, until you see the other movie and see a completely different person.

Watching the sequence suggested, I am completely swayed, completely deceived by the version, and by the fantastic performance of Carla Diaz, pobi Suzane, manipulated good-hearted girl (SQN), who all sounds justifiable in Suzane's actions, very good production, simple and efficient, objective and convincing, let's go for another version, the real one, maybe...
