The story is cheekily told here, and pretty well, if you don’t mind “cheeky” as the tone for a tale in which real people died.
Beautiful & Twisted is hardly a stretch, falling squarely within the narrow niche that Lifetime movies occupy; still, it’s an example that wedding the right talent to such material will likely yield dividends.
Everything in the Novacks' life is portrayed as being over the top, and Beautiful & Twisted's setup certainly matches that tone. What doesn't quite match up is the acting. Lowe's narration fits as apologetically irreverent, but Vega's performance is somewhere between Showgirls and a Dateline special.
The whole thing feels awkward, including the way Ben provides running commentary on all the action in hindsight, after he's already dead.
