Killer performance by Judy Davis, who perfectly nails the twisted, manipulative profile of a predatory grifter and sociopathic murderer.
Seriously, if you want to see how a grifter thinks and acts - this is it in spades.
The added bonus - parts of her behavior are so horrifically outrageous and unbelievable, you can't help but laugh out loud that anyone would have the audacity to try passing it off.
Even more twisted - we see her grooming her son to aid her and follow in her footsteps. Unfreaking real.
Side Note: I once met Sante Kimes very briefly. And even in those very few minutes, I could tell she was shifty dangerous trouble.
Second Side Note: If you like Judy Davis' stellar performance here, seek out her Emmy-winning performance as Judy Garland in Life With Judy Garland - Me And My Shadows . . . Available on disc at Amazon.
