Critic Reviews

Jacobson produces a remarkably creepy piece of cinema that disturbs by suggestion, nuance and ambiguity.Full Review

Robert Koehler
Variety

To explain a serial killer is to diminish his madness, but Dahmer does something quietly riveting. It lets you brush up against the humanity of a psycho, without making him any less psycho.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

Jacobson has achieved the unthinkable: He humanizes a notoriously brutal psychopath and, in the process, leaves the audience with an unwelcome sense of complicity.Full Review

Village Voice

Uses the serial killer's life as the starting point for a hypnotic examination of the farthest reaches of loneliness and alienation.Full Review
