The movie was ok! Dahmer was a disturb individual!

This movie had some really good things about it, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it.
Most other serial killer movies about a specific person seem to fall flat for me. The acting is usually lame, and they water down what was actually done, making it feel like a TV movie. This one is one of the better ones I've seen. Here's what I liked about this one:
1. The actor who portrayed Dahmer did a fine job.
2. The movie did a good job of making me feel disturbed (which, isn't that why anyone would choose to watch a film like this?)
3. The editing was subtle to where I cringed at many scenes but they actually don't show much. I think it takes some skill to make the audience engaged without using copious gore (which I'm not necessarily against), but nowadays it's overdone.
4. I learned some new things about Dahmer's "practices" that I did not already know (I actually felt compelled to research Dahmer more fully after the movie was over to see where the references in the movie came from). All I remembered previously was he killed and decapitated men, but it was so much more than that...
5. The overall sense of the movie left me in a state of mind to where I can imagine Dahmer's emotions as well. The movie eerily almost makes him relatable in a way...which is disturbing in and of itself. I definitely don't feel I wasted my time watching it.

This movie is creepy. Dahmer is a serial killer and gay? Nasty combo.
Movie is too long.

Jeremy Renner looks sooo very young in this. This film is primarily fantasies of Jeffry's. This film jumps from fantasy to reality,....got to be able to tell the difference.
Warch it again,....never,...way too dawn out

I feel utterly confused by this film. I have no idea wth I just watched. I feel like this must be a part in a mini-series I've never seen the rest of or something because it just didn't make any sense. There was no warning or lead-in to the flashbacks or explanation of their relevance to the previous scene, I don't get that he seemed to have almost found love or at least a relationship or why that guy was into him when he said such off things and physically harmed him at least twice. Then there was his family. The oblivious grandma, the seemingly not present mom, the overbearing dad who, in my opinion, did want to not have to deal with his sons problems, all culminating into this person who from what I got out of it, seemed to become who he was because he didnt have anyone to turn to regarding his homosexual urges and tendancies. I just don't get it... 0_o

Overall entertaining. Only a 1x watch though. Acting was well done. Movie was well paced. I enjoyed the intimate look into the social and daily interactions of Dahmer. Typically movies about serial killers mostly focus on the "sick" and "twisted" aspects of the individual. While this movie did show his infamous evil side it also showed how he functioned in daily life. His ability to charm and manipulate his victims was truly a craft. I didn't know before watching this how seductive and crafty he was. If your looking for a gruesome slasher movie with blood and body parts in freezers this is not for you. Overall worth the time to watch.

I don't think this movie was bad at all. It showed the different sides of Jefferey Dahmer objectively. He was messed up... no doubt about that. He could be charming, normal, smart, and still commit horrible acts. I liked the interactions that he had with Rodney. In my opinion he genuinely liked him and his demons got in the way. It is interesting to see Jefferey in different situations and how he acted at different ages. Serial killers usually progress in degrees of violence and in the method of the crimes. This is off the main subject, but the actors who played his victims were all cute. I wonder if he had such good taste in real life.
In the end, I think he was just tired of doing these things and forced himself to stop.
