It lets you brush up against the humanity of a psycho, without making him any less psycho.
EW
4.5
Jacobson produces a remarkably creepy piece of cinema that disturbs by suggestion, nuance and ambiguity.
Variety
3.0
Less the sensational true crime hell jaunt purists might like and more experimental in its storytelling (though no less horrifying for it).
2.5
Filmmaker David Jacobson doesnt seem to know where to go with his version.
San Francisco Chronicle

A subtly creepy, gently disturbing portrait of a genuinely disturbed man...The point of the exercise might not be apparent, but its artistry certainly ..

Dennis Schwartz Reviews
3.5
Renners performance as Dahmer is unforgettable, deeply absorbing.
Guide Live
3.5
Its shocking, intense, and totally creepy, yet compelling and sad. Jeremy Renner gives a career making performance.

1.5
The stylized cover showing a leering Renner is inappropriate because it doesnt cue potential viewers on what often makes the movie work.

Bruce Davison contributes a fine mini portrait as Dahmers distant but affable dad, but doesnt have too many scenes; Artel Kayru is charismatic as a ta ..

If the peoples impression of Dahmer was right all along, the movie doesnt seem to have much reason for existing beyond the further exploitation of an ..

It isnt simply the job that makes this starting point interesting.
