Roy V @RT88726166 Nov 27 I don't think I've ever been so bored in a movie before. Absolutely abysmal. If I could give it zero starts I would.

If you wanna look into a series that really sucks you into Jeffrey Dahmer and the story feeling more realistic, I would watch the monster series of Jeffrey Dahmer. It’s only 10 episodes long and the actors are more accurate looking. In this series, the mom and the father do not look like the actual people. And the same with Ross he does not look like Dahmer just because you give them the same haircut and glasses does not make him look like him.

I know nothing at all about this young Ross Lynch kid - apparently his background includes a Disney Channel show and being in a band or two. He is sensational here, and it's an electrifying performance that deserved awards attention. He perfectly nails this awkward adolescent, from the blank stare to the uncomfortable posture and walk. It's a performance that could have so easily gone over the top, but I believed every second of it. Sadly, the same can't be said for Heche as his mother in a performance that feels like a caricature and doesn't gel tonally with the rest of the film. The film isn't really able to explain what led to Dahmer's erosion - his home life wasn't great and he was an outcast at school, but neither to a remarkable degree. But there probably isn't one specific answer. This movie just wants to give us a glimpse into the young life of a deeply disturbed man - and it succeeds tremendously well. And Lynch's performance is one I'll remember for a long time to come. See more Tyler S @tylerking24 02/07/2024 Solid depiction of Jeffrey Dahmer's early life. Not my favorite Dahmer project but it is still worth the watch. See more Gareth v @geewah 06/22/2023 Based on the fantastic graphic novel, the movie version comes across as a tad flat. Not bad but the novel is far superior. See more Rogue 5 @RT17098361 04/04/2023 A combination of sadness and scary emotions that will make you feel bad for Dahmer and see how great of an actor Ross Lynch is. See more Read all reviews
