Elize Matsunaga: Once Upon a Crime

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.

This woman is disturbing. Her and Marcos are both flawed, that's why they were together. He had an esteem issue, and she had many too count. Evil woman, who enjoys harm onto others. The way she laughed when she put that poor little mouse in that plastic tub with that snake shows how sadistic and evil she is. Calculating, cold and manipulating. She should have been an actress. Her tone of voice drove me nuts during this documentary.

I am Brazilian, I can't understand why ??? She is a cold murder,There's no excuses for the crime, the worst part is show to the world that in my country they can leave the prison many times in a year. There is no Life in prison here.

While the crime committed was interesting, the documentary focused on the wrong topics and was too slow. None of the investigators were interviewed and the focus instead lied on the mental state of the killer. Most interviews were of reporters and prosecutors giving their opinions. Not sure what the point of this documentary was.

I think some people who wrote reviews and disappointed is not getting the point that this docuseries titled her name, her Point of Views. In some ways I get that she is a manipulator, this serie is not 100% supporting her as a victim and the crime as the result. You can also see how investigators againsts her theory and forensics clearly didnt agree with her explanation.

I believe it is a crime of passion, but on how she murdered her husband I still believe in forensics results, because it is proven and can't be manipulated againsts her words.

There are some proof that her husband really think he is untouchable by taking his mistress to the same restaurant where people recognized him as regulars. Although we never get to hear the victim POV. Why people really put on negatives the fact that she was a prostitutes, and ditched the fact that her husband also regularly paid the services?

But then again, we will never know how and what make her do it because I dont believe her story as it is not genuine on how she do it, but then again, I do believe this is a crime of passion. Either premedidated, or not.
