What could have been just your usual gaudy shocker documentary turned out to be a surprisingly intimate portrayal of a lonely, hurting man who desperately craved a connection with somebody, and turned to the worst imaginable outlet when he failed in that.
Jeremy Renner's acting, certainly the centrepiece of this movie, is haunting and goes under your skin; he transforms Dahmer from a flat media phenomenon into an actual person the viewer even manages to feel sorry for.
Although it isn't a cinematographic masterpiece, certain parts are incredibly well filmed and as a whole, this movie has the hushed, grainy quality of a film somebody just managed to catch on their portable video camera, which combined with the way the script is written, the fumbling dialogue and the awkward pauses, just manages to add to the natural feeling of it all.

I've seldom been this pleasantly surprised by a movie before.

Vai tas ir kāds nerakstīts standarts - teju vai katram glītam jaunēklim Holivudā "jāpierakstās" ar ekscentrisku geja lomu? Renners šo pārbaudi izturējis , manuprāt, izcili - notēlodams kautrīgu cilvēkēdāju-homoseksuālistu, kurš ir vienlaikus nožēlojams un briesmonis. Mazbudžeta spēcīgs kino, kas var izsaukt riebumu.

Excellent performance from Jeremy Renner as the infamous serial killer. It's not for the faint of hearted and I should stress it's actually very disturbing, but for those willing to sit through, it's a great character study.

Emotionally comatose, bleakly photographed, and all together bizarre film that isn't as interested in getting into Jeffrey Dahmer's head as it is in weirding us out.

Kathryn Bigelow made the decision to cast Jeremy Renner in "The Hurt Locker" based on his performance in this film. I don't know what she saw here, but I'm glad she saw it. I definitely preferred that performance.

Now, there's a man who marched to an entirely different beat

Other than Jeremy Renner's brilliant performance, there isn't much else to recommend.

Jeremy Renner seamed pretty good as Jeffrey, but I didn't get too far into this one maybe only like 35 minutes and I have a pretty high tolerance for fucked up shit in movies.

You might get further if you like gay rape scenes, little boy molestation, gay corpse rapes, storage of severed heads in "porn" boxes, drilling into skulls, and of coarse cannibalism.

I feel disgusting and uncomfortable in my own skin 3 days later, I shouldn't have tried to watch this. I went to Ted Bundy's house where there is still a food cellar where he kept bodies in Emigration Canyon, that was real and I didn't feel like this movie made me feel.

Gross. I don't even know how to rate this.

J.Renner loti labs; filma nedaudz pastiepta,bet noskaņa uzstādīta realistiska-traģiska,bezcerīga un slima.
