4.0 out of 5 stars Tough stuff 26 Aug 2003
By maz
Format:DVD
As long as you're human, you can't help but be touched by the events surrounding the making of this film.
In 1998, Matthew Shepard was brutally beaten and left for dead. Five days later he died, and Laramie bacame one of the most talked about towns in America - the reason - Matthew was gay.
The beauty of the Laramie Project is that it doesn't focus on the murder of Matthew itself, but on the aftermath, and the lives of those left confused by events they thought could never happen in their town.
Stunning performances by a talented cast as well as some actual news footage make this film compelling viewing. I came away both horrified and touched by the senselessness and beauty of human nature, a theme this film juxtaposes effortlessly.
The Laramie Project is tough viewing, but definitely worth making time for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful 10 Sep 2005
By Dominique Ross
Format:DVD
This film really touched me, it was really well done and it's such an effective method, we never meet Matthew yet through the expieriences and emotions conveyed by all the other characters you learn so much about him and his take on life. I recommend this film very highly and for those who are expecting it to be violent, you never see any images of Matthew beaten etc. which I think is what makes this film so wonderful, that it doesn't try and shock you into thinking about the case, it does that well enough through the powerful emotions and stories told.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must see! 29 Dec 2003
By "jumpingbean2020"
Format:VHS Tape
Having heard about this film through film magazines I decided I would give it a go. And i wasnt disappointed! The film is beautifully done with an ensemble cast as impressive as any major Hollywood film (I'm thinking Magnolia).

We never meet the victim, Matthew Shepherd, but we learn so much about him. We follow his last days on the earth, from visiting a bar through to his remaining hours. Actors play the residents of Laramie, who talk about their experiences and thoughts of the murder. Interwoven into the story are real life news broadcasts from the time of the murder which hit home the reality of this story.

I defy anyone to watch this and not feel a little emotional. Top marks goes to the scene in the courtroom where Shepherd's dad talks to the jury. This scene will bring a tear to even the most cynical of eyes!

Watch this, enjoy this, and think about it. Films like this do not come around too often!
