Doesn't add up. Interesting but holes in the story needing some work

The director seems to delight in prolonging the suffering of a woman for half this film. It's really just a snuff film in guise of art. Bloodlines does have a decent second half but it can't make up for the disturbing joy the makers seem to have in inviting us to watch a slow motion murder.

This is a very well acted drama about a true murder story. After researching the history behind it, I can see that they stuck closely to the facts, however I think they should have delved deeper into all the lies this murderous con man told and given us a better understanding as to how he fooled so many people. That said, it is still a compelling film and worth watching.
