Karla (2006)
Compelety Inaccurate Details in Movie
I generally do not write reviews of movies, but I feel compelled to air my opinions regarding this film. This movie was boycotted by most of the Canadian public and only played on a few theatres in the county, out of respect for the Mahoffy and French families. As an irresponsible Canadian who had the morbid curiosity to view this film, I was appalled not only by the graphic content, but most importantly, the factual inaccuracies throughout this film. This film portrayed Karla Holmolka as a victimized housewife, subjected to chronic spousal abuse from her partner Paul Bernardo. However, it left out many important facts with one example being how she murdered her sister (cut the tendons in her ankles so she could not run away) in order for her husband to repeatedly rape her sister, and laughed about it with her husband. This was all documented in court transcripts and video that they taped during the murders that the film failed to recognize. Karla was no victim in these horrific murders and was a much more willing participant then portrayed, so please understand that if you choose to view this film.
