Leave your thoughts about My Friend Dahmer.
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenIn its fusion of craft and narrative, My Friend Dahmer is exquisite. In its portrayal of Jeff's agonies, it can be excruciating. |
| Village VoiceApril WolfeMy Friend Dahmer is both sensitive and fascinating, distinguished by a stellar, mouth-breathing performance of insecurity from Lynch. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanAs you watch the movie, its central idea — that Jeffrey Dahmer wasn’t just born, he was made; that he started off as an actual human being — has a shocking validity that never undercuts the extremity of his crimes. |
| Cinemaphile.orgDavid KeyesThe film works above standard because there is a powerful sadness motivating the characters. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyMore than a week after watching writer-director Marc Meyers' My Friend Dahmer, I'm still trying to figure out who exactly the film is meant for and why on earth it was made. |
| Akron Beacon JournalClint O'ConnorAt the heart of My Friend Dahmer is a remarkable performance by Ross Lynch. |
| Shockya.comHarvey S. KartenNot your typical high school movie. This one portrays Dahmer (performed by an amazingly copied look by the title character) as a kid who might have been stopped from murder if adults paid attention to his adolescent fantasies. |
| Film School RejectsAndrew KarpanAs My Friend Dahmer slowly steers its protagonist toward his historical fate, the result is crushing. |
| IGNWilliam BibbianiUnsettlingly intimate, and nearly bursting with dread, My Friend Dahmer is an intriguing biopic about the early life of one of America’s most notorious serial killers, with an extraordinary and breakout per-formance by Ross Lynch at its center. |
| Screen InternationalDavid D'ArcyMeyers’s drama depends mostly on what it doesn’t show you, and it works. |
