Top CriticKaufman creates an eerie sense of not only being there at the time of these events but the very night Matthew was killed.

The bottom line is the piece works brilliantly.

The film does give a pretty good overall picture of the situation in Laramie following the murder of Matthew Shepard.

It's a compelling and horrifying story, and The Laramie Project is worthwhile for reminding us that this sort of thing does, in fact, still happen in America.
