    I'm really surprised at how much the reviewers trash the director of this film. A true documentarian doesn't stamp his views all over the film. He lets the audience decide for themselves. What to say about Burt and Linda? Not knowing anything at all about them, and having read the brief reviews on here, I assumed that maybe they were in the mafia. Not so. Burt is a sleazebag lawyer and Linda is an ordinary, beautiful young girl when the story begins. Things turn ugly fast. What he does to her is terrible. And then comes the real surprise. I won't say what it is because I don't want to ruin it for anybody. But if you've never heard of these two, I advise you be introduced to them the same way I was. With this documentary. You won't believe that it's true. You may find them both to be, literally, crazy, as the title suggests. But in the end, who are we to judge? They seem to be happy. Or at least not miserable.… Expand

    Great story, interesting interviews. Sort of a boring doc. style, and a few unanswered questions, hurt an otherwise great untold story. worth watching.

    It takes some time to realize we're in a maelstrom--going down down down into a saga of obsession, sadism, masochism, and codependency that was and remains one of the great, sick tabloid stories of all time.

    Despite the inherent, shocking nature of the material, Dan Klores' narrowly focused, poorly paced documentary lacks a narrative thrust that could have made for a more compelling film.

    While the competent filmmaking package lacks much of its own personality, the sheer fascinating strangeness of the people documented could earn the picture a minor cult following a la "Grey Gardens."
