Intruiging to watch Dahmer’s in his teen years getting off rails.. The story is small but all details in here are true. Socially inept but oh so looking for true friendship (Derf doesn’t really count) he knows how to grab attention by acting weird which is cringeworthy and sad. A friendship comes out of it and this film is based on the comic made by this friend, John Backderf. This is not comedy or nasty horror, just a tragic look at an anxious loser letting the dark feelings take over.. Recommended.

LIFF31 2017 #3 "I think we should form a Dahmer fan club." "My Friend Dahmer" takes a comedic turn on Jeffrey Dahmer's story. Focusing on the back story without the kills. Ross Lynch, best known for the Disney channel, which isn't a joke or an insult. Anywhere, through out the film Lynch pulls a pouty face and trying to look insane. Not saying he was bad, just needed to dial it back a bit. Other than that, decent effort. Putting aside some terrible acting and awkward humor; we assume a film like this would fall completely flat on it's face, which didn't happen here. While not great, but it at least deserves some praise of making this come together. Marc Meyers focus on what Dahmer could've been if the darkness didn't take over him.

[Prime Video] It approaches Jeffrey Dahmer's adolescence with a clarifying intention, but finally, aside from his strange relationship with the group of high school friends, it doesn't end up delving so deeply into the character's psychology. There's an obvious effort to reflect the protagonist's disturbing and macabre interests, but it doesn't ultimately feel like a movie that adds much to understanding a would-be killer.

**_Tonally flawless, but narratively weak_**

> _The killing was just a means to an end. That was the least satisfactory part. I didn't enjoy doing that. That's why I tried to create living zombies with uric acid and the drill, but it never worked. No, the killing wasn't the objective. I just want More
