Bernie is based on a true story and Linklater decides to tell the story documentary style which I think works to great effect here.

Richard Linklater, the creative force behind Dazed and Confused and Boyhood hits a squirm worthy bullseye with a bizarre black comedy from 2011 called Bernie, which is, incredibly, based on a real story that could only become a bizarre black comedy.
