Leave your thoughts about Tales of the Grim Sleeper.
| VarietyScott FoundasWhat emerges, finally, is an urgent distress call from one of America’s many, predominately black inner cities cast adrift by decades of municipal neglect and institutional racism. |
| Slant MagazineClayton DillardBroomfield isn't so much dedicated to journalistic truth or social ethnography as he is displaying bodies and mindsets of individuals that complicate any sense of Manichean polemics, where good and evil must be reckoned with at a purely secular and corporeal level, particularly along the lines of class and gender. |
| The DissolveNathan RabinThe film is an appropriately dour and intense indictment of a law-enforcement community that did not value the lives of some victims enough to devote anything but the slimmest of resources to tracking their killer down. |
| GuardianMike McCahillTough viewing, but the film-maker's commitment is unmistakable ... |
| The ListKatherine McLaughlinBroomfield and editors Joe Bini and Marc Hoeferlin construct their film like a maddening and gripping episode of Columbo. |
| Film RacketChris BarsantiThe callousness revealed in the film's final scenes is simply heartbreaking. They rate among the most affecting work Broomfield has ever done. |
| RogerEbert.comGodfrey CheshireIf there are any heroic figures in this sad tale, it’s the women of Black Coalition Fighting Back Serial Murders, a grassroots activists organization that took notice of the killings back in the ‘80s and spent decades trying to bring official and media attention to them. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThe film is as much a provocative exposé of Franklin, who awaits trial on murder charges and has proclaimed his innocence, as it is a vivid portrait of a community long plagued by drugs, crime, poverty and desperation. |
| NonficsChristopher CampbellBroomfield bounces back after his disappointing Sarah Palin: You Betcha with one of his best yet. |
| CineVueBen NicholsonThe dark recesses of a diseased mind may make the headline, but it is the indictment of far more widespread infection that rings out and is striking in its prescience. |
