Bernie (2011), Richard Linklater
3.5/5
From director Richard Linklater (Before Sunrise, Before Sunset) comes this strange and intriguing film that is part dramatisation and part documentary interviews. Jack Black actually gives a great performance as Bernie differing from his usual type cast bumbling style. It's an intriguing moral case and excellently portrays how "evil" things can be done by good people. Brings up some interesting conflicts about the notions of justice, evil and goodness. A bit slow at times, and the characters are somewhat annoying, it is overall a good film.
