Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
It's a hellish, numbing experience to watch, and it doesn't offer any insights that haven't been thoroughly debated in the media already, back in the Dahmer heyday of the mid-'90s.

Renner's performance as Dahmer is unforgettable, deeply absorbing.

It lets you brush up against the humanity of a psycho, without making him any less psycho.

rotten:
It's difficult to feel anything much while watching this movie, beyond mild disturbance or detached pleasure at the acting.
