Troubled by a turbulent childhood and his religious father's denial of his homosexuality, Dahmer lures attractive young men at home, where he conducts experiments and kills them, trying to create a living zombie who will never leave or judge him. It feels so genuinely real, and perhaps that makes it all the more impactful. Jeffrey Dahmer is a shy and socially awkward man in metropolitan Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The film does not really revel in any particular aspect of Dahmer's life.
I think this movie really succeeds because it is not an apologist piece, a macabre stint into the grotesque, or the usual trapping some of these films fall in to.
This film does a great job of sharing a glimpse into the impulses, motivations and spiral of events that molded one of history's worst. You watch this movie naturally tense, this sort of subject matter always starts with an uneasy sense of place and time. My Friend Dahmer lives in that space for a full hour or more. This is that moment before you fall, get caught or whatever nightmare you want to insert here. I suspect most people have a memory / feeling of that moment when they are dreaming and the austere sensation hits where their dream shifts into something more sinister. Ross Lynch also does an excellent job in the role, and had a highly competent supporting cast.
