  The Laramie Project is the movie to watch on the Matthew Shepard ordeal. Although far from perfect, this is a well acted and directed docu drama that tells a remarkable true story. Although far from perfect, the story is compelling and is worth seeing if you want to watch something truly engaging. This is a must see film for people interested in this poignant story. I thought that it was a well made movie that could have been a bit better, but it is much better than The Matthew Shepard story. The performances are pretty good and the story is engaging from start to finish, and there are some very good cast members here that give some good performances. There are things that could have been changed to make the film better, but for what it is, it works as an interesting docudrama. Although not perfect, it's still well acted and tells a great story. What Happened to Matthew Shepard should never happened, but it also opened the door to much needed action against hate crimes and equality. This is the film to watch if you're interested in the Matthew Shepard ordeal, and it is entertaining with good, memorable performances and well written story. However like I said, it could have been reworked slightly just to make it better. The Laramie Project will most likely have an impact on any viewer that will watch the film, and it is a film that you can't forget. The film has its flaws of course, but it is a well made movie that brings to light an important issue.

  The story is sad & tragic since it happened for real, but it doesn't work too well as a docudrama. I mean, it's just about okay. I thought that it was a documentary before I went for it, but later realized (after seeing Christina Ricci) that it's a docudrama.… More

  I am not a huge fan of documentaries. I have nothing against them, but I guess there are other things that I would rather watch. Like a movie...and this is a movie made in documentary style with real actors playing the parts. A very interesting concept. Mostly, though, the fact that… More

Like a movie...and this is a movie made in documentary style with real actors playing the parts. A very interesting concept. Mostly, though, the fact that this movie is about a real crime made it even more interesting. The horrible, horrific, and appalling story of the murder of this poor young man needed to be told

  It?s an interesting story and it has a great cast but it?s just so wooden. By the time you?re Half way through you just don't care!

  Very moving and compelling experimental project (an acted documentary based on a play that is both about something and about it's own creation) concerning the aftermath of the murder of Matthew Shepard. Besides the sensitive way in which the material is handled, the highlights of everything are the large ensemble cast and the great performances they give. I highly recommend this.

  If this is the one that was produced for HBO, it's a great movie as I recall.

  Some unbelievably beautiful acting and words. I found myself sympathizing with every character, regardless of their ideologies. This project is the penultimate representation of each person's own "universal truths," not matter how flawed or different from my own. As a film, the cinematography at the beginning was a bit cloying, with the extreme close-ups and camera angles for optimal emotional impact. The "frame story" which I don't believe was in the stage play seemed forced and unnecessary. Most natural performances by Fonda, Madigan, Linney, Davies, Baker, Irwin, and Kinney.

  I wasn't sure if this play would translate well on to film. But it was extremely good and touching.

  Pretty emotional and one of HBO's first films.
