It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
This film helps us to understand something I've too often wondered about, which is how a serial killer got to the state of mind where he could act out his crimes. It humanizes Jeffry Dahmer from someone who was a monster, to someone who was a pathetic, unloved youngster who was unable to make loving connections with his family and fellow humankind. All told from someone who directly contributed to, and apparently regrets Dahmer's wretched condition, which makes the story all the more believable, heart-wrenching and horrific.
Before the madness there were clues all around but no one paid attention. No one took action before the darkness reigned.Haunting movie only too relevant with today's society of teenagers needing direction and help.
Best serial killer bio this year. Great peak into dahmers early life.
His review nails it, wanted to emphasize its a six movie with the writing and Ross lynch putting it into a 7, a must watch for me. Youll be hard pressed to feel more like your in high school from any other film. It has real eloquence and applause for painting the characters fast. I really appreciated being Able to spend most of the runtime in the Dhamer high school awkward fest.
