Trivia
Surveilance footage shows Elize Matsunaga buying a chainsaw on the day of the murder. Though she may have used it to cut the Yoki up, this item has never been found. Instead, investigators found an older chainsaw that the couple reportedly used to open up wine containers.

Interesting, but way too slow.

It's an interesting crime, but I found the direction very off putting, the focus always somehow seemed to be in the wrong area, we never seemed to get answers to any of the relevant questions.

I was interested to learn about some of Brazil's legal system, including the week out of Prison, that was fascinating.

Overall, I felt it was too long, they milked every single drop out of the story, it seemed never ending. If you're watching the English dubbed version as I did, do you agree that the voice overs all sound too cheerful?

Interesting story, slow production, 6/10.
