this movie was too short


Why was this movie so short? The actors were great but it was kinda boring. On another note I felt bad for Phil Spector. Now I am wondering if he really did kill Lana. Just because he is eccentric doesn't mean he killed anybody

I thought that everything was not played out enough.

I agree this did not seem to offer closure. I would have liked to have seen his life in prison. It would have been neat to see if he ended up cellmates with a large black man similar to the one who played his chauffeur. He could be made to put on more wigs and stuff. Basically this should have ended with something inserted in his own mouth.

I found it riveting but I agree it was too short.

To me the movie is really quite good right up until the very end which is fine but then just stops. It feels basically like the film was cut - like something happened after that, that they either decided didn't fit or was too sympathetic to Spector.

The film feels unfinished. It's still worth watching, and the two leads are fantastic but it's frustrating.

Agree it was way two short. HBO should of made it a two part miniseries. Let the first half been about Lana and the murder and his lawyers preparing for the trial, and the second half been about the trial and Phil conviction.

It felt like it was the right length to me.
