BERNIE (2012) B+

Excellent and unusual movie about the true to life story of Bernie Tiede who lives in the tiny rural town of Carthage, in East Texas. 

Meeting the people who live there and getting to know Bernie through conversations with his friends is the essence of this very good movie. Reminded me of a Woody Allen movie where you get to know the neurosis of Woody and his friends by talking to other characters. In this case, however, we get to know people from a much different part of the American scene . . . the people who live in the Bible Belt. 

Did not give it and A because I thought the the ending was weak. Definitely worth 2 hours of your time.
