Customer Reviews of Murder on the Bayou
A BEAUTIFUL MOVIE This is a very poetic, thoughtful, human, often funny, and altogether well-done movie. I highly recommend it. There is hardly any violence in it, and still it is about violence and discrimination in Louisiana in the 70s. Also, it is a good adaptation of Gaines' novel, A GATHERING OF OLD MEN. I haven't the faintest idea why a person would compare this movie with Ed Wood stuff (see review below) - incredible.
There's nothing like the truth.
Anyone who doesn't appreciate the effectiveness of this movie has never lived in Louisiana. The complicated relationships between the races is perfectly depicted in the characters of Candy, Mathu, Sheriff Mapes, and the Boutans. The book upon which this movie is based is an outstanding work of reality disguised as fiction. The film version does a creditable job of transferring literature to the screen--that is, until the ending. The movie's conclusion is not as effective as that in the book (A GATHERING OF OLD MEN, by Ernest J. Gaines). All-in-all, however, this one is worth seeing!
Makes Plan 9 look like Gone with the wind
I rented this movie(if thats what you want to call it) years ago because of the actors. I've never laughed so hard watching anything like this in my entire life. Words like laughable, unbelievable, putrid, horrible come to mind every time I think about this turkey. Even Ed Wood would have been embarressed. Don't buy it, you should be paid to take it!
