My Friend Dahmer

As much as I love Ross Lynch, he is a great actor. I don’t think he portrayed Dahmer as well as Evan peters. If you wanna look into a series that really sucks you into Jeffrey Dahmer and the story feeling more realistic, I would watch the monster series of Jeffrey Dahmer. It’s only 10 episodes long and the actors are more accurate looking. In this series, the mom and the father do not look like the actual people. And the same with Ross he does not look like Dahmer just because you give them the same haircut and glasses does not make him look like him.

This is a shockingly good movie detailing the high school years of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer - I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this production, having heard nothing about it before seeing it. I know nothing at all about this young Ross Lynch kid - apparently his background includes a Disney Channel show and being in a band or two. He is sensational here, and it's an electrifying performance that deserved awards attention. He perfectly nails this awkward adolescent, from the blank stare to the uncomfortable posture and walk. It's a performance that could have so easily gone over the top, but I believed every second of it. Sadly, the same can't be said for Heche as his mother in a performance that feels like a caricature and doesn't gel tonally with the rest of the film. The film isn't really able to explain what led to Dahmer's erosion - his home life wasn't great and he was an outcast at school, but neither to a remarkable degree. But there probably isn't one specific answer. This movie just wants to give us a glimpse into the young life of a deeply disturbed man - and it succeeds tremendously well. And Lynch's performance is one I'll remember for a long time to come.

Solid depiction of Jeffrey Dahmer's early life. Not my favorite Dahmer project but it is still worth the watch.

Based on the fantastic graphic novel, the movie version comes across as a tad flat. Not bad but the novel is far superior.

A combination of sadness and scary emotions that will make you feel bad for Dahmer and see how great of an actor Ross Lynch is.

3.5 stars; You know. A lot goes into the making of a serial killer. This movie did a good job portraying the teen years of Jeffrey Dahmer. You start with a teen going through the self identity phase of life trying to be accepted by classmates. Take into account that he was already somewhat off-center, and was living through an uncivil divorce of his parents, he was ripe for his development as a sick psychotic. Who's gang of friends But do you have a round width Saw him as a weirdo, and loved to play tricks on him. All of this played as a catalyst to Is psychosis. He developed an interest in death and what's on the insides of people that makes them tick. This fascination eventually led to him becoming a mass-murderer to a confessed list of 17 victims. Fortunately, the film ends just as he's starting down that path. Ross Lynch gave a good believable performance as Jeffery Dahmer..

Nesse filme da pra conhecer mais o lado humano do Jeff, como sua adolescência foi vazia, solitária e difícil, principalmente por causa de seus pais e do fato dele se sentir sem amigos, já que no seu grupo de amizade, ele era um "bobo da corte". Ele queria, mais do que nunca, alguém que ouvisse ele de verdade e entendesse que ele precisava de ajuda. Infelizmente muitos jovens passam por coisas terríveis assim a todo momento e são poucos que conseguem ser salvos de um futuro péssimo, seja por se tornar um adulto que desconta suas frustações em outras pessoas, ou em si mesmo.

this was alright. it's interesting that all this Dahmer stuff is coming out all at the same time; just finished watching the show on Netflix so figured i'd check out this film as well - i think all the actors did well. i didn't find this movie to be quite as compelling as the tv show, but if i wasn't comparing the two i think it holds it's own.

Shy akward and pyscotic but at least he made friends

this is a must see! even if you don't know much about dahmer, it gives the most in detail view into what made him the way that he was. and David lynch did an awesome performance it makes it even better that this is his first serious performance. this movie is an all around five stars!
