MY FRIEND DAHMER was controversial here in Milwaukee because memories are long and feelings are still raw. Lisa and YaYa still went to it when it was theaters in 2017, but I hadn't watched it until now.
It's based on the memories of one of Dahmer's high school classmates and was filmed in his actual childhood home.
It is not always easy to watch, knowing what he is to become, and it is no masterpiece of storytelling. But it is a glimpse, potentially, of how he devolved into a killer, and it is sad and yet entertaining along the way.
If I were to assign it a letter grade, this movie earns a C, with a B for effort.
